Another vintage showcasing the quality of Coonawarra Merlot potential; bright fruits married with considerable depth and complexity.  

Since the 1991 release of the inaugural 1988 vintage, First Growth has set a benchmark for superior wine quality in the Coonawarra region. It is a wine made without compromise, using only the very best viticulture and winemaking practices.

Following the exceptional 2016 vintage, the 95 Block sub-section of our estate 'Abbey' vineyard was selected for displaying unique fruit characters. Cabernet Sauvignon predominant this blend also comprises 25.6% Petit Verdot from the same block.

S.B.W. #3 - Napoleon - is made up od 75% Coonawarra Cabernet and 25% Barossa Montepulciano. Named after Napoleon Bonaparte - whose Italian heritage and French birthright saw him become both emperor of France AND King of Italy; similarly the grape varieties in our S.B.W.#3 hail from both France (Cabernet Sauvignon) and Italy (Montepulciano).

A very strong Coonawarra Shiraz vintage. Great intensity of ripe, dark fruits and impressive structure for long term cellaring.

Beautiful expression of Coonawarra Cabernet: regal and powerful, yet elegant structurally. 

The Coonawarra Series Shiraz is an approachable, yet elegant wine with great depth of flavour and definitive structure.

The Coonawarra Series Cabernet Sauvignon is a youthful and stylish wine with generous, mouth filling fruit flavours encompassing a classic structure.

The Interloper is a fresh and juicy style of Cabernet Malbec, showing a well-balanced palate of vibrant acidity, lush red fruits and a bramble savouriness that aptly reflects the region. 

This refreshing and vibrant Rose comes from the very heart of Coonawarra and showcases the brilliant diversity of our beautiful growing region.
