Wine & Cellar Doors
Coonawarra Cabernet & terra rossa
The best wine & cellar doors in Coonawarra
The Limestone Coast is one of Australia's great red-wine frontiers. Coonawarra's famous cigar-shaped strip of terra rossa soil over limestone produces some of the country's most age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, while Wrattonbully, Mount Benson, Robe and Padthaway add their own coastal and cool-climate character.
