The DiGiorgio family, originally from Italy, settled on the Limestone coast during the 1950’s. The family turned their attention to viticulture in 1989, when they pioneered the first vine plantings on their property at Lucindale. In 2002 the DiGiorgio family purchased the historic Rouge Homme winery from Southcorp. The wine label now includes the Coonawarra, Lucindale and Sterita ranges and covers a wide cross section of styles and price points.
