Phil and Mandy Gartner along with their 3 children Taylah, Abbie and Cooper are the people behind Terramoré. Being third generation Coonawarra wine growers and with their wealth of knowledge felt that the time was right to launch Coonawarra’s newest wine label. The name Terramoré is a play on words [Terra] of course being the terroir for which Coonawarra is renown for, and [amoré] meaning love, created the perfect word for those connoisseurs who truly understand great terroir and love wine.
