Coonawarra is a sub-region of South Australia on the Limestone Coast and one of Australia's most distinctive homes of Cabernet Sauvignon. WineFortune tracks one wine here — Penfolds, Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon — from a single producer; it is indexed and listed in the shop.
The sub-region is defined by its terra rossa, a narrow strip of red clay-loam over free-draining limestone, and a cool, maritime-influenced climate. The wine carried under the Coonawarra GI is a still red; Cabernet Sauvignon here typically shows cassis, dried mint and eucalyptus notes with fine, firm tannins suited to the cellar.
The WineFortune index puts the median at €170 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. Critics score the tracked wine 96 on the 100-point scale, with a median drinking window from 2023 to 2036. The WineFortune Premium Selection holds one vintage from Coonawarra.
