Overview
Rouge Homme hails from one of Australia's most revered fine wine regions, Coonawarra. With a history that dates back to 1952, this medium bodied red wine exemplifies a level of depth and complexity that can only come from experience. True to its regional and varietal character, this Cabernet Sauvignon exudes blackberry, mint and spice, and is the perfect choice to pair alongside red meat dishes, in particular lamb.

Mouth-filling and with fine tannins that frame a well-structured palate. Everything in balance with ripe dark berry fruits and nutmeg-spiced dark chocolate most evident.

Coonawarra, South Australia
Coonawarra, on South Australia’s Limestone Coast, is a flat, isolated region almost mid-point between Adelaide and Melbourne. The area enjoys a cool maritime climate - similar to that of Bordeaux - and is renowned for its unique terra rossa soil. Rich, rust coloured soils… crimson sunburnt faces… magenta sunsets: this is red wine country! While Coonawarra is famous for its rich, minty Cabernet, the area also produces Shiraz and Merlot and surprisingly good Chardonnay and Riesling.
