The Australian Limestone Coast untamed.This red lover's white Is a year-round delight.
Our tribute to the emerging Italian varietals making their mark on Australia's Limestone Coast. Spicy, citrusy Fiano leads the style with Pinot Grigio and Arneis adding weight and hints of perfume. Crisp and refreshing but opulent enough to sit on any dinner table.

A visit to South Australia’s Limestone Coast is a wine extravaganza boasting deep terra rossa soils, pure underground waters, a Mediterranean climate – and of course the finest fruits of Coonawarra, Mount Benson, Mount Gambier, Robe, Padthaway and Wrattonbully.
Sue Hodder is one of Australia’s best-known winemakers and this year celebrates her 27th vintage with Wynns – making wine from wonderful, expressive fruit grown in the heart of the terra rossa. Sue commenced her career as a viticulturist and believes her early viticultural training – assessing vines, analysing mature fruit and tasting the finished wine – gave her an invaluable insight into the importance of the vineyard in quality winemaking.
Sue brings valuable experience with vintages in other noted wine regions around the world and has judged extensively in Regional, National and International wine shows. She is the recipient of many accolades including GT Wines ‘Winemaker of the Year’ in 2010 (with viticulturist Allen Jenkins); and most recently ‘Winemaker of the Year’ (with Sarah Pidgeon) at the 2016 ASVO awards.
