From the Chairman
This year has seen some exciting events happen within the Limestone Coast Wine Community. This representative organisation, which has active sub-committees has changed its name to the Limestone Coast Grape & Wine Council to more accurately reflect what we do.
We run a wineshow, commission research and are active on the issues of water, phylloxera, sustainability and representation to government when required.
Entries to the annual wineshow will open soon. All previous results, sponsors and press releases are available to view and download from here.
Click here for dates and how to enter your wines. The Wine Show Presentation Dinner is the premier event that brings us all together in the one room.
The Technical Sub Committee has received significant funding from the GWRDC to under take research and extension. There are many projects under way and this website is the portal to research papers, seminars and new developments. Click here to register for seminars and events.
“With freedom comes responsibility. We have great freedoms here, we can plant which varieties we like on a any soil we want. We self-regulate. Here in the LC with our exceptional natural resources we have a responsibility. The range of soils and profiles, long extended ripening periods and a secure water supply is why we are here and we should be proud and actively be guardians of these pristine resources.”

NOTE – The Limestone Coast Grape & Wine Council was formally known as the Limestone Coast Wine Industry Council.
