Wrattonbully


See Wrattonbully producers See a list of Wrattonbully wines See map

Part of South Australia’s Limestone Coast, Wrattonbully was first known as ‘Koppamurra’ twenty-eight years ago. Potentially larger than either Padthaway or Coonawarra, but only Mildara, Hardys, Orlando & Yalumba have invested to date. The remaining land still the pastured playground of farming homesteads & doctors. 

As with its neighbours, Wrattonbully is blessed with an natural acquifier, albeit one whose salinity level is rising (currently 1000 ppm). The region is one degree celsius warmer than Coonawarra, but one degree cooler than Padthaway. Wrattonbully is notable for its 100 metre elevated undulating Naracoorte Hills, giving a diurnal shift and higher acidities; its lower relative humidity (minimising grape rot); its moderately low fertile terra rossa (loam over ironstone & limestone) soils allowing detailed pruning (vs the non-detailed/hedge pruning practised in Coonawarra) and consequently better fruit quality. Approx. 1000 ha planted with fresh, varietally pure Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay.

Recommended Producers

Yalumba’s Smith & Hooper vineyards, Brian Croser’s Tapanappa & the Nolan Family Wines are all good producers.

"This is the first vintage of Nolan's estate Chardonnay, a pretty wine from the cool Limestone Coast zone of Wrattonbully with its loam over lime and ironstone soils. Its pure, fresh fruit salad aromas and flavours have been captured by a shading canopy, harvesting at night and by using only 10% ... MORE

“Not as well-known as Coonawarra, twenty minutes drive to its south but much prettier; the elevated, undulating terroir giving the fruit a nice lift. Nor is the region as populated. For me though Wrattonbully has the potential, as here, of producing benchmark Australian Cabernets without the ... MORE

Medium Bodied, Dry, Red, Cab.Sauvignon, Ready, but will keep, Stelvin Closure, 13.5% alc.

A voluptuous Aussie cabernet, from a top limestone soil-rich area near Coonawarra, with lots of fat, ripe, spicy, velvety, briary fruit that delivers elegance and attitude.

An excellent hand-reared, family made Australian Cab. Sauvignon; nothing added or taken away. The country's reputation for making top Cabernet has suffered at the hands of the corporate brands over the past 30 years, so it's great to see a single-estate example shows what's possible.
