Wynns

The Australian winery "Wynns Coonawarra Estate" is located in the Coonawarra region (state of South Australia). Its origins date back to 1891, when John Riddoch (1828-1901), an immigrant from Scotland, began planting vines. In 1895, a winery was put into operation and the vineyards covered 52 hectares. They form the core of today's estate. In 1951, the business was bought by Samuel Wynn (1891-1982), who was of Polish origin, and his son David and renamed "Wynns Coonawarra Estate". At that time, fortified wines in the style of sherry or port were particularly popular in Australia. It was a gamble to produce dry red wines, but Wynns was very successful.
