Doug Bowen is one of the great characters of the Coonawarra. Dedicated to producing full flavored, fully ripe and intense wines that exhibit great balance. Shiraz and Cabernet are the varieties that have put Bowen Estate on the map. Very much a family affair with daughter Emma now taking up winemaking duties, and Doug’s wife Joy acting as the stabilizing force!!
