Named after the visionary pioneer John Riddoch (1827-1901) who established the Coonawarra Fruit Colony in 1890. The cool maritime climate and exceptional vineyard sites produce wines of beautiful aromatic complexity, rich flavours and freshness. This classic Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French and American oak barrels, is concentrated and supple with blackcurrant, dark cherry, earthy chocolate and plentiful fine-grained textures.

This wine epitomises Coonawarra at its very finest. Deep magenta in colour with rich blackberry aromatics and hints of spiced cedar oak. Lush blackberry plays on the palate, while the fine tannin structure creates an elegant, balanced finish with persistent length. Aged in a combination of old and new French Oak for 15 months with an additional 24 months of bottle maturation prior to release, this wine will drink well now but also reward careful cellaring for 10-15 years.

John Riddoch MHA, who entered South Australia's Parliament (1865) as the South East's representative. Founded the Coonawarra Wine Region (1890) with the aspiration of making the finest wine in the country.

John Riddoch's first vintage of Coonawarra Claret (1890) was a shiraz-dominant wine.

Matured in new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. Drink now or will reward careful cellaring for up to 10 years.
