Di Giorgio Family Wines Coonawarra Chardonnay 2022 x 12

Description

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.  
The DiGiorgio Family Wines Coonawarra range is produced using  
the best of traditional and modern winemaking methods.

Winemaker’s Comment 
A select parcel of estate grown grapes was hand picked to produce this 
refined and complex wine. Traditional technique of wild yeast, solids  
ferment and full malolactic fermentation in small oak barrels has  
resulted in this softly textured wine. Cellaring will give further toasty  
complexity. Drink with South Australian rock lobster served with a lemon 
and fresh herb aioli.
