Limestone Coast

Located in the southeast corner of South Australia, the Limestone Coast is a prominent region celebrated for quantity and quality. It produces a third of South Australia's wines and is home to some of its most prestigious vineyards. The area's distinguishing feature lies in its unique limestone-based soils, the foundation for crafting wines of exceptional quality. With a cool maritime climate, the region's long summers extend ripening periods that elevate the depth of fruit flavors. A rich array of grape varieties thrives here, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz leading among the reds, while Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc shine prominently among the whites.
