Balnaves of Coonawarra wines are 100% Coonawarra, and produced exclusively from fruit grown by the Balnaves Family in Coonawarra.

The aim is to produce consistently high quality wines from fruit sourced from their 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. The wines are made to be aged and are best after several years of cellaring. The wines are best enjoyed with food, which highlights the mouthfeel qualities which our wines produce.

The first vines of the Balnaves vineyard, in 1975, comprising of 2.5 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and 2.5 hectares of Shiraz, were planted on the rich terra rossa soils fronting the Riddoch  Highway, these vines are still producing outstanding wines 43 years later
