Ottelia

South Australia | Coonawarra | Pinejunga/Buandig

Our Review

John and Melissa Innes moved to Coonawarra intending, in John’s words, to ‘stay a little while’. The first sign of a change of heart was the purchase of a property ringed by red gums and with a natural wetland dotted with Ottelia ovalifolia, a native water lily. They still live in the house they built there. John worked as winemaker at Rymill Coonawarra while Melissa established a restaurant. After 20 years, John left Rymill to focus on consultancy work throughout the Limestone Coast and to establish and run Ottelia. The tasting room and rather flash restaurant are at 5 Memorial Drive, Coonawarra. -JAMES HALLIDAY
