SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 10, 2024 – Wynns Coonawarra Estate, a pillar of Australian winemaking and a name synonymous with exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, proudly unveils its 2024 Luxury Collection. This exquisite range of wines represents the culmination of meticulous viticulture and expert winemaking, two hallmarks that have established Wynns as a benchmark for Australian excellence.
The 2024 Luxury Collection comprises six elegant, medium-bodied red wines, each a testament to the unique expression of the Coonawarra region. The 2021 and 2022 vintages that contributed to this collection were marked by ideal growing conditions, with the 2022 vintage in particular yielding grapes of exceptional quality. These grapes, nurtured in the Coonawarra's prized Terra Rossa soils, brim with intense flavor and concentration, perfectly suited for crafting wines of elegance, structure, and aging potential.
Leading the Wynns Coonawarra Estate winemaking team, Senior Winemaker Sue Hodder expressed her enthusiasm for the 2024 Luxury Collection: "The 2022 vintage in Coonawarra presented us with a rare opportunity. Ideal growing conditions, characterized by warm days, cool nights, and ample sunshine, allowed the grapes to mature slowly and develop exceptional depth of flavor. This, combined with the meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and cellar, has resulted in a collection of wines that truly showcases the best of Wynns and the Coonawarra terroir."
A highlight of the 2024 Luxury Collection is the 2021 vintage of Wynns' flagship wine, John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon. Renowned for its power, finesse, and exceptional aging potential, this iconic wine is poised to be released globally in September through La Place de Bordeaux. This prestigious release further cements Wynns' position as a leading producer of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and underscores the dedication to quality that has been a cornerstone of the winery since its inception in 1891.
The 2024 Luxury Collection is now available for purchase at select fine wine retailers across Australia and via the Wynns Coonawarra Estate website: www.wynns.com. Wine enthusiasts and collectors are encouraged to act swiftly, as this limited-edition collection is expected to be in high demand.
