Cabernet and Merlot grapes are harvested from some of the finest vineyards on the Limestone Coast and Coonawarra. Following the crush, fruit is vinified in a combination of new and traditional fermentation vessels while being treated to a course of plunge and pumpovers for the gentle extraction of tannins and colour. The fermenting must is cooled to ensure temperatures do not rise above desired levels. Wines are fermented to dryness on skins over a period of several days, run off and pressed before being added back to the free run. The batches are then filtered and transferred to a selection of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels for the completion of malolactic and a term of maturation.


Deep garnet red colour with a dark core. A rich and complex wine featuring attractive, sweet blackberry and stewed fruit aromas. Vibrant blackberry and plum flavours are supported by spicy oak and fine, firm tannins.

In 1892 Henry Richardson, one of the earliest Coonawarra pioneers, purchased land from the region's founder John Riddoch, establishing a vineyard and winery. For half a century, the property supplied wine to other companies and merchants. With the inaugural release of a Cabernet Sauvignon wine in 1954, the Rouge Homme label began to attract it's own fame. Richardson's Block Dry Red claimed the ultimate accolade when it claimed the Jimmy Watson in 1994. Occupying about sixty hectares, the viticulture and winemaking facilities are amongst the most modern and sophisticated in all Coonawarra. Rouge Homme is matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for up to two years.

Right at the heart of Coonawarra are the Rouge Homme Vineyards, established in 1908 when the Redman family purchased part of John Riddoch's Penola Fruit Colony. Regular seasons of cold, wet winters and mild to warm, dry summers encourage a slow ripening of grapes, allowing excellent development of sugar levels and flavour, with the retention of good acidity. To accomodate the cold winters and springs, the vines at Rouge Homme are trained over high trellises, with overhead mist sprinklers to protect them from frosts during spring. Rouge Homme is treated to an extended maturation in a selection of seasoned and new, French and American oak barrels.


Intense red colour with dark crimson hues at the rim. Rich, ripe full berry characters showing spicey fruit and velvety, brown tannins. Light oaken characters of cinammon and clove embellish the fruit. A wine of soild structure and persistent flavour, attractive fruit sweetness on the mid palate, balanced by integrated tannins and enhanced by oak maturation.

For half a century, the Rouge Homme winemakers supplied wine to other companies and merchants. With the inaugural release of the 1954 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rouge Homme as a winery itself began to attract some of the fame. Rouge Homme, French for Red Man, signified the similarity of the wines to the red wines of Bordeaux. The Rouge Homme Richardson's label was introduced with the 1992 vintage and named in honour of Henry Richardson. In 1892 Henry Richardson, one of the earliest Coonawarra pioneers, purchased land from the region's founder John Riddoch, and established a vineyard winery on the property.

In 1965 the Redman family sold the vineyards and winery, which, with the original Richardson property, became Rouge Homme as it is today. Occupying about 60 hectares, the vineyards are planted with classic varieties including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, with a small amount of Chardonnay. The Rouge Homme Winery is now one of the most modern and sophisticated in the Coonawarra.

Situated in the southeast of South Australia some 50kms north of Mount Gambier, the Coonawarra grapegrowing district is a unique isolated strip of rich terra rossa soil over porous limestone. Running in a north-south direction just over 14kms long and around 2kms wide, it is an island of red soil bordered by black soil, grazing country and sandy loams. A climate of cold, wet winters and mild to warm, dry summers allows slow ripening of the grapes, with excellent development of sugar levels and flavour, and the retention of good acidity. Because of the cold winters and springs, the vines at Rouge Homme are trained over especially high trellises, with overhead mist sprinklers to protect them from frosts during spring.

Rouge Homme has maintained a tradition of crafting satisfying wines since 1952

As custodians of the Rouge Homme's great Coonawarra traditions, the winemaking team continues to produce a range of distinctive, approachable wines which have the potential to develop great complexity with bottle ageing over many years. With a considerable reputation as classic Coonawarra, Rouge Homme wines are frequent gold medal winners - particularly the reds. In 1994, Rouge Homme received what is regarded by many to be the wine industry's greatest accolade - the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy which was awarded to 1993 Rouge Homme Richardsons Red Block.
