Located in Coonawarra, South Australia, Koonara Wines was established in 1992 by Dru Reschke on vineyards he planted with his father Trevor in the late 1980s.

Dru continues his passion for wine with his wife Nicole, who lives on the property with their daughters Lucy and Alice. Our Coonawarra vineyards are organically grown and certified and have been since 2017.

Koonara believes in creating wines that are high quality and age-worthy. All our wines are vegan friendly, low in sulphur and have no (or low) residual sugar.

wine is second to none.

I drink the Guardian Angel sparkling wine. I have to say this particular wine is second to none. I am extremely hard to please when it comes to wine, this one ticks all the boxes, the only problem is trying to hide it from my family, neighbours,  and friends. Well done Koonara

“One thing I wouldn’t have expected in a country town … was a funky homewares shop … it pays not to get too smug about living in one of the world’s biggest cities, particularly when the shopping in a small country town is superior.”

“Part cellar door, part one-stop shop, Koonara encourages you to taste its organic wines as you browse the homewares, gifts, jewellery, clothing and gourmet treats. The concept is “everything you need for a good dinner party”, such as Savor glassware designed by the winery’s director Dru Reschke.”
