Under the leadership of senior winemaker Sue Hodder and winemaker Sarah Pidgeon—joint winners of 'Winemaker of the Year' at the 2016 Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology (ASVO) Awards for Excellence—Wynns has only seen its already considerable prestige grow over the last decade. Now, these skilled artisans of the Coonawarra region are preparing to launch their finest annual release yet: the Wynns Coonawarra Estate Luxury Collection.
On June 4th, this stunning launch is set to establish a new benchmark for wines from South Australia and beyond. The collection of five premium drops will include a pair of releases never seen before, one of which is a limited edition, only serving to raise our anticipation. In fact, the releases already have us daydreaming about that first satisfying twist that opens a fresh bottle, so let's take a closer look at this outstanding collection of Coonawarra's finest from the masters at Wynns.

Wynns Michael Shiraz 2022
Named after the first son of David Wynn (the Melbourne-based winemaker who purchased the winery with his father in 1951), this is Wynns Coonawarra Estate's best-of-vintage Shiraz, meaning any release is an event. Harnessing fruit from the best vineyard sites in Coonawarra, this wine is only made when fruit of the necessary quality is available, so you can expect demand for this one to be high. Price: AUD$150

Wynns Single Vineyard Childs Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Another special offering, this Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a single vineyard selected by Wynns to be bottled separately — a tradition Wynns maintains with each vintage. In 2022, it was decided the Childs Vineyard on V&A Lane was deserving of this honour, with the resulting wine showcasing the vineyard's signature superfine tannins and intricate layers. Planted in 1969, the Childs Cabernet Sauvignon has been a long-time contributor to Wynns outstanding offerings, and this release is further justification of its elevated status. Price: AUD$80
Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2024 | Image: Wynns
Wynns Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2024
Lovingly produced using fruit from the McKillop Vineyard in Coonawarra's north, this vintage marks the first release of a straight-varietal, limited-edition Cabernet Franc. Thanks to a dry and mild-to-warm picking period with lower yields, the resulting wine boasts incredible brightness, balanced fruit, and intense varietal expression. The wine also features a striking vibrancy that arrives courtesy of a shorter maceration period and maturation in neutral 3000L French oak vats, making it perfect for immediate enjoyment or cellaring over the short to medium term. Price: AUD$80
Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 | Image: Wynns
Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
First introduced almost 70 years ago, Wynns Black Label Cabernet has a well-earned reputation for striking varietal and regional characteristics as well as its graceful ageing. Produced using only the top quality 20 to 25 per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Wynns' Terra Rossa vineyards, it has proved itself one of Australia's most collectable wines, setting the standard by which other Australian Cabernet Sauvignons are judged. Price: AUD$45
Black Label Messenger Chardonnay 2024 | Image: Wynns
Wynns Black Label Messenger Chardonnay 2024
To round out the collection, we have the inaugural release of Wynns' Black Label Messenger Chardonnay. Selecting fruit from the Messenger Vineyard, located at the southern end of Coonawarra's Terra Rossa strip, this release showcases a wonderful depth of fruit flavour that's delightfully paired with a firm acidity. Thanks to hand-picked grapes, whole-bunch pressing, barrel ageing, and malolactic fermentation, this luxurious white wine is equal parts smooth in texture, complex, and bright. Price: AUD$45

The Wynns Coonawarra Estate Luxury Collection is another incredible offering from one of Australia's most beloved winemakers. It is available from Wednesday, 4th June 2025, via Wynns' online boutique, major retailers nationwide as well as fine wine retailers around Australia. Discover more via the link below.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov reveals plans to pass down multi-billion-dollar fortune to 100-plus kids
Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of messaging app Telegram has revealed who will inherit his multi-billion-dollar fortune. Mr Durov recently drafted his will, making provision for over 100 children — but they won't get a cent for another 30 years, he revealed in an interview with French magazine Le Point . The app founder is worth $13.9 billion (AUD$21.4b), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. 'I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account,' he told the publication. Mr Durov, 40, added that he has six children who were conceived naturally with three different partners, along with at least another 100 children he has fathered through sperm donations. 'The clinic, where I started donating sperm 15 years ago to help a friend, told me that more than 100 babies had been conceived this way in 12 countries,' he said. Given his current net worth and an estimated 106 children, each child would stand to inherit approximately $131 million. 'I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: there are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,' he told the publication. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.' Mr Durov is not the only tech billionaire to have fathered a surprising number of children. Tesla founder and billionaire, Elon Musk, is also an enthusiastic advocate of spreading his genes, welcoming 14 children with four different women since 2002. Over the years, he has been vocal about his desire to have more children to increase the birth rate. In 2021, he claimed that there are 'not enough people' in the world, expressing concern for civilisation if people don't have large families. 'I think one of the biggest risks to civilisation is the low birth rate,' the Tesla CEO said at an event hosted by the Wall Street Journal. 'Please look at the numbers. If people don't have more children, civilisation is going to crumble, mark my words.' It is not yet known how Musk will divide his fortune.

WhatsApp to start showing ads to users in parts of the messaging app
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here WhatsApp users will start seeing ads in parts of the app, as owner Meta Platforms moves to cultivate a new revenue stream by tapping the billions of people that use the messaging service. Advertisements will be shown only in the app's Updates tab, which is used by as many as 1.5 billion people each day. However, they won't appear where personal chats are located, WhatsApp developers said. 'The personal messaging experience on WhatsApp isn't changing, and personal messages, calls and statuses are end-to-end encrypted and cannot be used to show ads,' WhatsApp said in a blog post. WhatsApp will soon include advertisements on some parts of the app. (iStock) It's a big change for the company, whose founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton vowed to keep the platform free of ads when they created it in 2009. Facebook purchased WhatsApp in 2014 and the pair left a few years later. Parent company Meta Platforms Inc. has long been trying to generate revenue from WhatsApp. WhatsApp said ads will be targeted to users based on information like their age, the country or city where they're located, the language they're using, the channels they're following in the app, and how they're interacting with the ads they see. WhatsApp said it won't use personal messages, calls and groups that a user is a member of to target ads to the user. It's one of three advertising features that WhatsApp unveiled on Monday as it tries to monetise the app's user base. Channels will also be able to charge users a monthly fee for subscriptions so they can get exclusive updates. And business owners will be able to pay to promote their channel's visibility to new users. Most of Meta's revenue comes from ads. In 2025, the Menlo Park, California-based company's revenue totalled US$164.5 billion ($AUD 252.3 billion) and US$160.6 billion ($AUD 246.3 billion) of it came from advertising.
