Wynns is the proud custodian of many of the great vineyard sites along Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa strip, and each year we select one vineyard to highlight the individuality of the site. In 2023, we chose a young planting from the O’Deas 12.81 vineyard, located to the north of the winery, which was farmed by the O’Deas family until 1966 before being later sold and established as vineyard. The Terra Rossa soil here is dark reddish-brown, with moderate depth to limestone and an average elevation of 57.5 metres, and the current plantings are vine selections from our highly prized Childs vineyard, established on rootstocks. The 2023 season proved challenging, yet the diligence of both vineyard and winemaking teams delivered high-quality, medium-bodied wines, with vineyards planted on well-drained Terra Rossa soils achieving the strongest results.

The wine is typically made up of at least 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by slightly less Merlot and a small balance of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Soils here are primarily sandy gravel with small amounts of limestone.
