A new Benchmark in Coonawarra Cabernet
Introducing The Federator Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 - Riddoch Coonawarra’s bold new flagship wine.

Drawing from select vineyards along Coonawarra’s prized terra rossa strip, it showcases meticulous winemaking with 15 months’ oak maturation and 24 months’ bottle ageing. The result is a richly textured, cellar-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon that perfectly balances purity and power. Limited to just 3,060 bottles, The Federator sets a fresh benchmark for premium Coonawarra Cabernet.
