Our Vineyards

Hoff’s Block Vineyard
Welcome to Redman’s Hoff’s Block Vineyard. Named after Arthur Hoffman, one of the first people to establish vineyards and fruit trees in Coonawarra. Located in the heart of Coonawarra, opposite Wynns famous Gables, the vineyard is now mostly planted to cabernet in the rich terra rossa soil. Bruce Redman gives you a tour.
Cellar Block Vineyard
Located in the heart of Coonawarra, our Redman Cellar Block vineyard was purchased in 1966 and was first planted to shiraz with a small amount of cabernet sauvignon. There is a lovely, consistent quality to the fruit. The site is surrounded by the Redman Cellar Door and winery. Mal Redman gives you a virtual tour.
North End Vineyard
Our North End Vineyard was part of the original Hoffman holding, about 1 kilometre from the Hoffman Homestead. It’s predominantly shiraz, planted in 1935 so the vines are old. Some gnarly trunks from what used to be bush vines, but we’ve gradually trellised these up. Bruce Redman gives you a virtual tour of what is so special about this Coonawarra vineyard.
John’s Block Vineyard
Our John’s Block Vineyard was purchased in the mid 70’s. Originally there were a couple of acres of old grenache vines with some shiraz. We replanted with merlot which has become an intricate part of some of our premium blends. Named after John Lavia, our Vineyard Manager for over 40 years who also lives on the property and treats the vines as if they were his own. Mal Redman gives you a virtual tour.
Bernkastel Block Vineyard
Our Redman Bernkastel block was originally planted in Coonawarra in 1971. The Redman family purchased the block in 1976. It was planted 50/50 shiraz and cabernet sauvignon – one of the mainstay vineyards for our production. Mal Redman gives you a virtual tour.
Coonawarra Terra Rossa Soil
Coonawarra is renowned for our red wine, made famous given the distinctive ‘terra rossa’ soil. We talk a lot about the dirt when we refer to wine, but did you know that the soil gives the wine its distinctive flavours and is what makes Coonawarra wine so unique.
