L'histoire de ce domaine remonte à plus d'une centaine d'années mais c'est en 1951 que Samuel Wynns, un célèbre viticulteur de Melbourne, rachète le Château Comaum situé dans la région de Coonawarra. David Wynns, le fils de Samuel, a peu à peu repris le domaine en main pour lui donner une dimension grandissante. En 1981, les vignobles Wynns étaient les plus vastes de la région avec 440 hectares. Aujourd'hui, il compte 850 hectares dont un tiers se trouve dans la région de Terra Rossa. Actuellement, ce domaine appartient au groupe Southcorp, qui est le plus grand groupe australien et qui contrôle 55 à 60 % de la distribution des vins australiens. Wynns reste cependant indépendant en ce qui concerne la viticulture et la vinification.

Wynns Coonawarra Estate is the pre-eminent wine producer of Coonawarra, South Australia, founded in 1891 by Scottish pioneer John Riddoch on the famous terra rossa soils. Now the region's largest single vineyard holder with 850 hectares, Wynns crafts world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignon wines, including the iconic John Riddoch cuvée, ranked at the highest level of Langton's Classification of Australian wines. Under the guidance of chief winemaker Sue Hodder since 1998, the estate embodies Australian excellence in elegant, structured wines built for ageing.

L'histoire du domaine

The history of Wynns Coonawarra Estate begins in 1891 when John Riddoch, a Scottish pioneer settled in South Australia, planted the first vines on Coonawarra's terra rossa soils, recognising the exceptional potential of this iron-rich red earth and the region's cool southerly climate. In 1896, he completed the construction of the famous triple-gabled winery — now the estate's emblem on every label — and established the Coonawarra Fruit Colony. After his death in 1901, the vineyard endured difficult decades marked by market collapse and partial abandonment. Revival came in 1951 when Samuel and David Wynn, Melbourne wine merchants, purchased the former Château Comaum and renamed it Wynns Coonawarra Estate. David Wynn then introduced the term "Estate" into Australian wine vocabulary, asserting the regional identity and quality ambition of the property. The first vintage of Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon was produced in 1954, rapidly becoming a national benchmark. In 1982, the prestige cuvée John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was born, a tribute to the visionary founder, produced only in exceptional vintages.

Le terroir

Located at the heart of Coonawarra's famous terra rossa strip — a narrow band 27 kilometres long and less than two kilometres wide — Wynns Coonawarra Estate owns 850 hectares of vineyards, 95% estate-owned, making it the region's largest single holder. The terra rossa, this iron oxide-rich red clay soil, sits atop a porous limestone bedrock that ensures optimal drainage while retaining necessary moisture during warmer months — an ideal terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon. Coonawarra's climate, remarkably cool for Australia due to the proximity of the Southern Ocean, is characterised by daytime temperatures of 30°C followed by 14°C nights, enabling slow, balanced grape ripening. Over the past two decades, Wynns has undertaken an extensive vineyard renewal programme: removing lesser parcels, replanting with selected clones and rootstocks, revitalising old vines through severe pruning. This rigorous viticultural approach, conducted with near-scientific precision, aims to express each parcel at its best whilst preparing the estate for decades to come.

Les vins

The Wynns Coonawarra Estate range is built around Cabernet Sauvignon, which represents over 60% of the estate's production, complemented by remarkable Shiraz from some of the property's oldest vines, planted in 1894. The Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon, produced since 1954, is one of Australia's most collected wines — a medium-bodied, elegant wine with vibrant acidity and chalky minerality that confers decades of cellaring potential. The V&A Lane range, launched in 2008, showcases elite parcels located along V&A Lane. At the pinnacle stands the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted only in exceptional vintages from less than one percent of the estate's finest fruit, aged in French oak barriques — a wine of remarkable purity, moderate alcohol (around 13%), both concentrated and weightless, often compared to great Médoc crus. Since 2016, John Riddoch has been sold via La Place de Bordeaux, a rare consecration for an Australian wine. The Wynns style favours elegance over power, precision over immediate gratification, and cellaring potential over early consumption.

Le vigneron

Sue Hodder is one of Australia's most respected winemakers. Originally from Alice Springs, trained at Roseworthy Agricultural College with a specialisation in viticulture, she joined Wynns Coonawarra Estate in 1993 after experiences in Bordeaux, Margaret River and California. Appointed Senior Winemaker in 1998, she has embodied the estate's vision for over three decades: expressing the finesse and depth of old terra rossa vineyards through medium-bodied wines of moderate alcohol, capable of ageing gracefully. A perfectionist, Sue Hodder draws inspiration from the legendary vintages of the 1960s — light without being skinny, lightly oaked, ripe without being jammy — to guide her current work. Distinguished by numerous awards including Winemaker of the Year by Gourmet Traveller WINE in 2010 and induction into the Halliday Hall of Fame in 2025, she works alongside Sarah Pidgeon, winemaker at the estate since 1998, and Chris Plummer, forming a close-knit and inspired team. Together, they have led the complete renovation of the vineyards and refined the Wynns style to address climatic challenges whilst preserving the estate's historical identity.
