HUNDRED OF COMAUM
COONAWARRA

"Coonawarra, the world’s best Cabernet Sauvignon region"

International Wine Fair, UK,
August 2008
  Coonawarra is renowned for its cool climate and soil that produces grapes of exceptional flavour and intensity. The Schoolhouse vineyard is near the town of Penola, in the heart of the "terra rossa" soil region. While Coonawarra is generally flat terrain, this vineyard is one of the few in Coonawarra with a noticeable slope. Soils are deep red terra rossa loam over limestone on 37 Hectares (91 Acres) and the annual rainfall is 582mm (23 inches). Elevation is 60 metres.  

Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

The medium density plum red colour of this wine suggests more colour development that might be expected from a 2 year old Coonawarra red... tar aromas behind the tasty oak... warming the wine to 15.5c released more aromatics with ripe fruit and fruit cake aromas as well as spice... chewy medium fine tannins pleasantly filling the mouth.

Pressed Riesling 2008

 

An attractive light to medium straw colour, this wine invites further scrutiny. Aromas of ripe apple, pineapple and roses...with all aromas increasing from 12.5c to 15c. The palate has nice acidity and astringency that leaves the mouth feeling clean, with the fruity and floral characters evident and lingering.
