Punters Corner wines are classically Australian in style and represent the best of grapes available to Punters Corner vineyards in any year.

Our vineyards currently produce some twelve hundred and fifty tonnes of fruit per annum of which one hundred and eighty tonnes are selected to produce premium table wine under the Punters Corner label.

The wines have achieved numerous successes in wine shows both nationally and internationally. Punters Corner was honoured to have its 1996, 1997, 2000, 2002 and 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon included as one of Coonawarra’s finest Cabernets in the annual Coonawarra Cabernet Weekend Auctions, and taking out the highest price ever paid at auction in the latest barrel series.

All grapes used come from company vineyards situated on the famous Coonawarra strip. Each block of grapes is sampled and tested separately through the growing season and picked separately at harvest.

The V&A Lane vineyard consists of vines planted in 1998, while the Cellar Door vineyard consists of thirty-year-old Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot vines as well as new Cabernet plantings, which have replaced the original Riesling vines.

In 1998 and 1999, a further sixty hectares was developed in partnership with Balnaves of Coonawarra. The first vintage from this vineyard was in 2001. We expect this vineyard (Saratango Park vineyard) to provide us with exceptional quality Cabernet, Shiraz and Merlot.

The Vincorp vineyard (sixty-four hectares) was established in 1991. This property was also developed jointly with Balnaves of Coonawarra and comprises of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Fruit from Saratango Park and Vincorp that is not used by Punters Corner is sold to other leading Coonawarra producers.
