The DiGiorgio Family Wines Coonawarra Vineyard 
In March 2002 the DiGiorgio Family became the proud owners of 
the second oldest winery in Coonawarra. This winery had been 
known since the early 1950’s as ‘Rouge Homme’ and holds  
enormous importance  within the ‘winescape’ of Australia.  The 
13.5ha of mature vineyard surrounding the winery is planted on 
the famous ‘terra rossa’ soil of Coonawarra.  These old vineyards 
have provided the DiGiorgio Family with an invaluable source of 
premium grapes for their Coonawarra label.

Winemaker’s Comment 
A rich wine with a soft creamy texture, just the way a traditional 
Aussie sparkling red should be. Drink it now while it is fresh and 
fruity.  
 
Family favourite : roast turkey with cranberry sauce or with a  
decadent brunch of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs.
