Identified in 1963 by Karl Seppelt as a viticultural region on the basis of a Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and South Australian Department of Agriculture study carried out 19 years earlier, Padthaway was originally known as Keppoch. The acquisition of 350 hectares (865 acres) by Seppelt encouraged first Lindemans, then Hardys (in 1968) and thence Wynns to follow suit and to this day the region remains the preserve of the major companies. Notwithstanding the originally modest quality expectations held for the region by its pioneers, Padthaway has proved to be an excellent white wine producer and, if yields are controlled, an equally good red wine area. There are no subregions. Given the absence of any significant mountains, a maritime climate generally prevails. The region’s original bias towards white wines is surprising given that it is significantly warmer than Coonawarra to the south, with more sunshine hours, lower rainfall and fewer rain days.

A decent shiraz. A bit dry, very mildly sweet, good peppery flavor, not too much fruit. Very drinkable with food, and a decent sipping red.

This is a big bargain for me because I love this wine. I purchased it at Safeway for $5.40 per bottle. The six pack price is even less. Australia is good at what they do. This wine is of deep dark fruit aroma filling the nostrils. The tastes is one of ...

Wonderful wine. Just let this one decant for a few hours before imbibing. Inviting, dark colour. Great nose, almost like chocolate or cocoa. Excellent mid palate. Big, big fruit here. Like a fruit burst of candy but balanced off with nice leathery spice.
