ORIGINS

Winery: Jim Barry

Region: Coonawarra

Located in the Limestone Coast of South Australia, Coonawarra is one of Australia's most iconic wine regions. With its unique terra rossa soil, Mediterranean climate and long history of winemaking, Coonawarra has become a benchmark for Australian Cabernet Sauvignon. Coonawarra's winemaking history dates back to the late 19th century, when Scottish settler John Riddoch planted the first vines in 1890. The region was officially established in 1908, and the first commercial winery was established in 1912. Since then, Coonawarra has become one of Australia's most renowned wine regions, producing some of the country's most sought-after wines.
