Rymill Coonawarra was established in 1974 by Peter Rymill, the great-grandson of the founder of Coonawarra, John Riddoch. Our estate vineyards sit on an ancient coastline, about one million years old, the limestone of which is covered in a precious layer of terra rossa soil.

The combination of Coonawarra’s unique soil and long cool ripening season is perfect for grape growing, and the region is internationally renowned for producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.

The stunning winery was built in 1992 amongst the Estate Vineyards and is a striking image to all visitors at the end of the kilometre-long London Plane Tree drive. At the front of the winery are Stallions Rampant, a bronze sculpture, created by artist Gabriel Sterk.

Rymill Coonawarra is a five-star Wine Companion winery and described as a ‘must visit’ by regarded wine critic James Halliday. The cellar door offers unique and unrivalled views of winemaking and viticulture with our multi-level observation decks.

Rymill is committed to sustainability in a changing climate, and an investigation of innovative, low impact techniques in winemaking. By embracing our environment and caring for healthy vines, our vineyard allows us to capture great flavours in our wines.

Our daily commitment to sustainable practices is guaranteeing the next generations will also enjoy the beauty of Coonawarra. Our commitment to sustainability in both the winery and vineyard is evident with our entwine accreditation from Freshcare and Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.

We know that truly great flavour can only be achieved when care is taken in the vineyard to ensure healthy vines and embrace their environment. We work hard to selectively harvest the vineyards and conduct small batch winemaking to preserve this quality through to bottling. Our wines express the very best that the unique terra rossa soil and cool climate of Coonawarra can deliver – rich, elegant, and perfect companions to food.
