Wynns Coonawarra Estate is deeply honoured to announce the nominations of Sue Hodder and Allen Jenkins as Patrons of Coonawarra! This prestigious recognition celebrates Sue's three decades of exceptional winemaking and Allen's two decades of visionary viticulture, both of which have profoundly impacted the Coonawarra region. Sue, a fellow of the Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology (ASVO), has been a relentless champion of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon throughout her career. Under her leadership, Wynns wines have achieved international acclaim, with the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon launching on the exclusive La Place de Bordeaux network. Allen's deep understanding of the Coonawarra terroir has been instrumental in crafting wines of unwavering finesse and elegance. His dedication to the land is evident in the optimisation of fruit quality and the elevation of the region's reputation. Sue and Allen's nominations are a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence and their enduring legacy in Coonawarra. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both!
