Mt Gambier is the southernmost region within the Limestone Coast appellation. Renowned for its rich, terra rossa soil, the Limestone Coast is one of Australia’s great wine zones. The soils are predominantly terra rossa – rich red-brown loam topsoil laid over a thin layer of calcrete, sitting on top of a base of the region’s abundance of white limestone.

Andrew and Louise planted their own organically managed vineyard and Andrew’s started heading up the local viticultural association in order to try to get the region on Australia’s organic winemaking map! In the meantime, they manage and source fruit from three local sites.

“We make wines that reflect the eccentricities of our personalities, place and terroir with a minimalistic approach. We use old world wine methods, preferring the challenges of hand picking our fruit, open fermenting with indigenous yeast and only adding sulphur when required by the wine. We do not filter or fine our wines and they are all bottled on site in our small winery. Our aim is to produce great tasting unique wines expressing this unique terroir above anything else. We produce what we like to drink.” – Andrew
