The Coonawarra Valley in the south-east of the state of South Australia is the most famous wine area of the Limestone Coast. The Coonawarra possesses a rare soil, drawing landscapes of incredible beauty. This soil is terra rossa, the red earth essential for the formation of the region's terroir. Terra rossa is excellent for viticulture because it is a rich and well-drained soil.
Coonawarra borders the Southern Ocean, which gives it a maritime climate. Cabernet Sauvignon is the star grape variety of Coonawarra. With it, the producers elaborate fine and intense wines with firm and structured tannins. These wines have good ageing potential.
