Coonawarra is home to many legendary characters – John Riddoch, William Wilson, David Wynn and our own Bill Redman were very much part of the fabric of our wine community from the early days. As we wander through some of our old vineyards in 2020, celebrating 50 years of producing Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon, it would be remiss of us not to tell you the story of Arthur Hoffmann, a prominent local character, pioneering viticulturist and vital part of the Redman wine story.
