Balnaves Philosophy: 1.Balnaves wines are 100% Coonawarra, and produced exclusively from fruit grown by the Balnaves Family in Coonawarra.
2.Our aim is to produce consistently high quality wines from fruit sourced from our own Coonawarra vineyards, reflecting the unique flavours, character and quality of fruit grown in this area, as well as the variation of seasons in this cool climate area.
3.Our winemaking philosophy is to maximize and build complexity and structure in all the wines. Rather than focus on simple varietal fruit characters, the wines show complex fruit oak and tannin aromas, and rich yet fine palate structures, with noticeable texture as well as flavour on the finish.
4.Our wines are made to be aged and are best after several years of cellaring. The wines are made to accompany food and are best enjoyed with food, which highlights the mouthfeel qualities which our wines produce. |

The superb Laira Vineyard was established by Captain Stentiford in 1893 on a premium parcel of Coonawarra Terra rossa soil. Pioneer and patron of the Coonawarra Eric Brand became custodian of the vineyard more than half a century later. Today, Brand's Laira is widely regarded as some of the region's best plantings, producing wines of exceptional quality as evidenced by their consistent wine show success. The distinctive small berries of the vineyard lead to below average yields, and translate into wines with intense fruit characters |

The philosophy of Jacob's Creek is to create a wine that goes with any occasion that can be drunk now or, depending on the wine style, can also be cellared for future enjoyment. Every vintage we strive to improve the quality of our wines by refining our winemaking practices and continually gaining a greater understanding of our vineyards. A wine is not made in a single step and from the vineyards all the way through to placing the product on the shelves, we have a dedicated team who all work with the final destination in mind, you, the consumer. Our aim is to provide excellent quality and consistency every vintage so that the wine in your glass represents the fruit we started with in the vineyard. |

THE EARLY YEARS PENFOLDS was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies a century and a half ago. Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in1838.
Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Mary's home in England.
TODAY PENFOLDS continues to innovate in winemaking. The Yattarna project of the 1990s has led to an expansion of the white wine portfolio of PENFOLDS. Two white wines now sit proudly in the Bin range - Bin 311 Chardonnay and Bin 51 Riesling - and a Semillon Sauvignon Blanc joined the Koonunga Hill range. In 2004, PENFOLDS released two Special Bin wines - Kalimna Block 42 and Bin 60A, offering these unique wines to wine-lovers en primeur.
The Thomas Hyland range adopted the Adelaide appellation and launched two new wines, a Sauvignon Blanc and a Riesling. Sourcing the PENFOLDS Thomas Hyland wines from the Adelaide winegrowing region showcases the finest wines that the Adelaide region can produce from the only winery that truly calls Adelaide home. 30 years after the inaugural vintage of Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet, PENFOLDS released Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Shiraz Cabernet from the 2006 vintage as an homage to the original wine.
