Therefore, 375 kms south is Coonawarra or thereabouts. WCE was the first building but has had 50 plus vintages
Does it have something to do with redman, rouge homme, or woodleys treasure chest series?
is it the primary industries building south of naracoorte, is it Yallum Park????
Oh quizmaster do tell..
Getting closer, you’ve got the region, and I love the fact google isn’t providing much help Remember we’re talking about a pioneer in the nineteenth century, this narrows it down significantly.
Another clue, this building wasn’t constructed for anything wine related. It was however used to produce a second vintage for the pioneer.
Katnook Estate’s winemaking history stretches back to 1896, when Coonawarra’s second vintage was made in the Katnook woolshed by Scottish immigrant John Riddoch. This same woolshed today houses Katnook’s oak barrels. The two clues from the Caledonian Society I believe is a reference to John and his brother George?

Correct, it is indeed now the Katnook Barrel Room. Katnook also produce the 'Caledonian', hence the double reference.

Cheers Craig.
Big deal! Where's your sense of history! This is where Coonawarra started, the very essence of what is now one of Australia’s premier wine regions. Where, in 1891, Riddoch planted the first vines and where, in 1896, he made his second vintage. This woolshed was where Katnook commenced. Ah, the youth of today
I for one like the quizz. It's been a long time since we had one (and not just be cause I had the first correct answer). I'm looking forward to the next one.
