The Balnaves Coonawarra Vineyard was established in 1975, and is situated at the southern end of the Coonawarra Terra Rossa Strip. The family, which has been associated with the district since 1855, remains fully committed to a high level of ‘hands-on' involvement. 

Balnaves have almost 70ha of high quality estate vineyards. The wines are invariably excellent, often outstanding, notable for their supple mouthfeel, varietal integrity, balance and length; the tannins are always fine and ripe, the oak subtle and perfectly integrated. Coonawarra at its best. Balnaves is arguably the most consistent producer of chardonnay in Coonawarra.
