“Beautifully made and quite delicious.” Nick Butler, The Real Review 2019
Koonara is the name of our property in Coonawarra which has been in our family for over 100 years, and where my Gran – Emiline May Reschke – lived until she was 99.
Accomplished dressmaker and designer, teacher, bridge and scrabble guru, and professional floral artist.
Here’s to you Gran.
“Oh, spectacular sangiovese. The Italian red variety was treated with the love and respect it deserves in this demure rosé. It’s an alluring pale pink, pretty, poised, playful, and complex – like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Delicate waves of strawberries and cream, cherry and raspberries dance around a sturdy, dry backbone. The wine is named after Dru Reschke’s gran, Emiline May Reschke – a fitting tip of the hat to a woman who lived until the ripe old age of 99.”

- “Lovely translucent pink colour, attractive strawberry & floral aromas with a nice crisp tasty palate with a very appealing finish. IDEAL SUMMER WINE!!” – Dan Traucki, June 2019
- “The palest of pinks in colour, let’s call it salmon. Overt strawberries and maraschino cherries on the nose – musk and rosewater – certainly very expressive. Soft and subtle on the palate; strawberries and cream but no hint of confection. Beautifully made and quite delicious.” 95 points, Nick Butler, The Real Review 2019

The Head Honcho, Coonawarra Cab 2015
Our Wine, Red Wines♥ Organically grown ♥ Vegan Friendly ♥ Low in sulphur ♥ Dry wine ♥ No residual sugar
The Head Honcho was created from our 10 acre single Cabernet vineyard. This vineyard produces small berries full of intense flavour, harvesting a tiny 1 tonne per acre. In the 2012 vintage, it had only organic additives, and no pesticides (none have been used in this vineyard for 10 years). We aged this wine for 24 months in the finest French Oak barrels. From these, only the most complex flavours from the finest barrels were selected. This year only 3 barrels made the cut, creating only 100 cases, with only 888 bottles being released. The French Oak barrels have integrated beautifully in this wine. The darkest of dark berries went into this; blueberry, cassis, and molasses over mint. Extremely long finish. The Head Honcho will age well until 2042.- Equal Top In Category, Winestate Magazine Qatar Airways Cabernet & Bordeaux Challenge 2018

Cape Banks, Pinot Noir 2016
Monthly Wines, Our Wine, Red Wines♥ Vegan Friendly ♥ Low in sulphur ♥ Dry wine ♥ No residual sugar
Cool growing conditions, rocky mineraly soils, and low-yielding vines have helped create a complex bouquet awash with true Pinot characters. It has hints of vanilla and fresh tobacco over spicy cherry notes. Mount Gambier is the perfect spot to create really good Pinot. The temperatures between Mount Gambier and the most famous French Pinot Noir region – Burgundy are extremely similar. If you add all the temperatures of the growing season together (minus 10 degree base temp), it gives you the Biological Effective Degree Days (BEDD). For 1st Cru Areas of Burgundy, the BEDD is 1242 and 1245 for Mt Gambier. Named after the Cape Banks Lighthouse, which is only 30mins drive from our vineyards, near Carpenter Rocks on South Australia’s rugged South East coastline.Food match: Tea smoked duck breast and roast potatoes with truffle salt.

Cool growing conditions, rocky, minerally soil, and low-yielding vines contribute to the hints of vanilla and fresh tobacco over spicy cheery notes. This is a more-ish tribute to the local landscape and begs for foggy evenings, an armchair and plenty of time to waste.” 4 Stars, Katie Spain, Wine Writer Adelaide Advertiser 2019
Rouge Vintner Wine Glass Gift Box (set of 4 glasses)
Glassware, Monthly WinesDru's checklist:
Why has it been so hard to find a wine glass that’s just right for both red and white? One that is big, but can still fit in the dishwasher. One that gives precisely five glasses from each bottle without needing a line. One with a fine rim, but 5 x stronger than normal glass. When I couldn’t find that glass, I designed it myself.Glass features:
- A fine cold-cut lip
- 5 x stronger than normal glass
- Ideal for both red & white wine
- The widest point is 150ml (5oz) for maximum aeration
- Exactly 5 glasses from every bottle
