Details and technical informations about Winery Koonara's The Big Guns Shiraz.
Discover the grape variety: Couderc
Simple, colourful and fruity reds with a deep ruby colour, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, showing aromas of red fruits and discreet hybrid notes. Productive and resistant to phylloxera. Now marginal, it survives in a few heritage plots and French ampelographic collections, a witness to post-phylloxera hybridisation. French black hybrid variety obtained by Georges Couderc at the end of the 19th century.

The wine region of Coonawarra
Australian icon of Cabernet Sauvignon on the legendary terra rossa (Limestone Coast, south-east): signature king red — elegant and structured with notes of bright blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, pencil shavings and a minty touch, vibrant acidity and chiselled tannins, great ageing. Tasty Shiraz and supple Merlot complete it. A narrow strip (12 km × 1 km) of rust-red loam over active limestone, Antarctic coolness and ocean upwelling, moderate alcohols and exceptional freshness.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
