When it comes to grapes; geography, geology and climate are crucial to producing the quality and complexity needed for outstanding wines. The alluvial soil of the Limestone Coast sits atop 26 million year old limestone caverns providing excellent drainage.
This ancient foundation delivers an abundance of the purest quality water which brings life and sustenance to this remote and bountiful region.
The astonishing geographical diversity of the region creates six distinct micro pockets, each with a unique combination of elements producing distinctive wines. From the cool climate of Mt Gambier producing restraint and elegance, to the maritime air of Robe and Mt Benson whose fruit bursts from the glass. Contrast this with the dense, terra rossa soil of the Coonawarra where richness reigns and the sun baked flavours of Wrattonbully with its bold and intense flavours.
A viticultural heritage both steeped in tradition but unbound by it, the pioneering spirit is alive and well in the great people that call The Limestone Coast home. Producing classic varietal selection, you will undoubtedly find both the satisfyingly familiar and the extraordinary different when you begin to explore the bounty from this far flung coast.
