The Limestone Coast is a special region in the Australian wine landscape. Its privileged place has never been so starkly evident than during a recent trip to the south-eastern corner of South Australia. Across much of the country, after a dry 2025, there was brown parched land for as far as the eye could see. But on approach to Limestone Coast, there was a sudden change. Green, heathy fields emerged, and the local bushland and landscape were clearly flourishing. It has also been a little dry on the Limestone Coast during 2025, but nothing compared to many other wine regions around the country. Despite the winds of climate change, Limestone Coast is clearly displaying its resilience, in its landscapes, colour and the vibrancy of its wines. Is Limestone Coast about to have its well deserved time in the sun?
