Australia awarded new wine appellation

Published:  24 December, 2010

Mount Gambier has been recognised as South Australia's newest wine appellation.

Mount Gambier has been recognised as South Australia's newest wine appellation.


The cool climate area is located on the Limestone Coast and has the coolest average temperature on mainland Australia.


The Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation has given the official nod, following several years of consultation, after local winemakers applied to have the area recognised.

It means winemakers can now label their wine more regionally, where previously the Limestone Coast designation included only Coonawarra, Robe and Padthaway.

The Mount Gambier Regional Winegrowers Association was formed in June 2003 under the commonwealth government regional assistance programme.


It enabled the members to become an incorporated body with a constitution and established an initial marketing plan for the region.
