Redmans Wines in the Coonawarra toasts the future

ONE of the Coonawarra’s ­pioneering vigneron families — the Redmans — have never become too big for their boots. Wine gluts, booms and busts have come and gone in the century that the Redmans have been growing grapes and making wine in the South Australian region. The family, who now have a fourth generation involved in the business, have resisted the temptation to expand during the booms. This the Redmans credit for helping them ride out what they say is increasingly a “tough” industry, especially in recent years when it comes to marketing.
