I think it has peaked and is in a great place and couldn't get much better (170 views) |

The DiGiorgio Family Wines Lucindale Vineyard
In 1989 the family set aside 4 hectares on their Lucindale farm for vines. After much consideration of microclimate, average sun light hours, water supply and soil testing, the first 2 hectares of Pinot Noir and 2 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon were planted. As a result of its initial success, the
family gradually developed the vineyard to a total of 126 hectares with the final planting in 1998. The varieties planted now encompass Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
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.
MerlotMerlot is a dark blue–colored wine grape variety, that is used as both a blending grape and for varietal wines. The name Merlot is thought to be a diminutive of merle, the French name for the blackbird, probably a reference to the color of the grape. Its softness and "fleshiness", combined with its earlier ripening, makes Merlot a popular grape for blending with the sterner, later-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which tends to be higher in tannin.Australia Wine Australia (Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation) | Australian Wines (Wikipedia)South Australia South Australian Wine Industry Association | South Australian Wines (Wikipedia)Limestone Coast Limestone Coast |
