Established in the mid-1980s, the Yates vineyard is situated in the ‘mid-west’ of the Coonawarra strip part way between the Coonawarra and Penola townships. It is named after the previous owners of the land.
Planted to both Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, it produces fruit with great varietal definition and in years like 2023, an extra surge of concentration and flavour. Surrounded by a number of large gum tree’s, there is always a hint of mint and eucalypt which helps define the regionality and style, hallmarks of wine from this vineyard consistent over the last 40 years.
