After selling his highly successful industrial services business to Brambles, Rex Watson decided to build on the core of a small 10-ha Coonawarra vineyard. Today, a total of three Rex Watson vineyards are all situated in the heart of Coonawarra Terra Rosa where the vines benefit not only from the great soils but also from the cooling sea breezes and gentler growing conditions. They have been developed using the latest technology to yield intense and concentrated fruit for today's discerning Cabernet enthusiast. A long ferment with up to fourteen days on skins followed by a luxuriant maturation under a combination of French and American oaks has resulted in a true Coonawarra classic. Approx 14.0%
