ABOUT KARATTA WINES
Karatta Wines is a family owned, estate grown wine business that was founded by Peg and David Woods in 1997. Our Winery and Vineyards are located at the family property on the Limestone Coast, just a leisurely, 10 minute drive from the township centre of Robe on the road towards Coonawarra, the Robe-Penola Road. We are community-oriented, committed and honest with high expectations of ourselves and our produce. We also love to have fun and believe in a good laugh to help make life enjoyable.
Peg and David started working with the land on the Limestone Coast in 1975 when they established the Griffin Pastrol Company, a sheep grazing business. Very much established within the community they purchased Karatta House in 1989 and then In the late 90’s they had the foresight to see the potential of the land and planted their first vineyard, named Tenison Vineyard. The family then wanted to grow the business to produce a large selection of varietals and purchased the 12 mile vineyard in the early 2000.
Today the family still pride themselves on their strong association and family history of agriculture and the surrounding land of Robe township. The family history with the region, the building of a winery, expanding the vineyards and establishing The Wine Room shows the family’s passion and the pride of community and the area it is a commitment to their ongoing passion to promote the region and the people within it. In David’s legacy and with Peg’s guidance the next generation continue the commitment of promoting Robe and its people, Victoria (aka Tory), Lucinda (aka Cindy) Rachel and Sam all have a passion and purpose within the business.
