Winery

Bowen Estate
Bowen Estate is a deeply respected family-owned vineyard and winery in the heart of Coonawarra’s famed strip of terra rossa soil, of which the Bowen family today owns an impressive 33 ha under vine, each of which are pruned by hand. The current wines reflect recent years of work in which the vineyard has been replanted to an estate-based selection of the property's finest clonal material. The 2014 reds, the Cabernet Sauvignon in particular, are exceptional. Reminiscent of the stellar 1984 vintage, it delivers a Graves-like combination of depth and gravelly structure. Based on this wine, and decades of excellent wines from this estate, it is high time the Bowens matched their quality with price, even if just notionally.
