Doug, Joy and Emma Bowen produce classic Coonawarra wines from prime terra rossa soil. The family owned and operated business has continued to evolve since the first vines were planted in 1972. Bowen Estate's wines reflect the family's values and constant drive to produce excellent wine.

Freshness of fruit is abundant on the palate filling your mouth with our classic coonawarra palate weight which leaves you wanting more. This is an excellent example Coonawarra Shiraz - it is a medium bodied wine, abundant plummy fruit characters and balanced by fresh Shiraz spicy fruit. The wine spent 18 months in American oak barriques. The use of American oak enhances the mouth feel and supports the fine tannin structure adding length to the palate. This is a wine that will equally suit drinking with a meal or enjoy it by itself.
