Currency Creek Region on the Fleurieu Peninsula extends from Port Elliot in the west to the shores of Lake Alexandria in the east. Geographical features include three islands, the controversial Hindmarsh, Mundoo and Long islands, Murray Mouth where the Murray River meets the sea and Lake Alexandria. Towns include Goolwa, Middleton, Currency Creek and Finniss.
With its close proximity to both Adelaide and the coast, the Currency Creek region is strategically positioned. Well made and well priced wines provide the perfect accompaniment to the local cuisine.
Although the climate is Mediterranean, it is surrounded by water which moderates the temperature. The region depends on dams and bores as rainfall is insufficient during the growing season.
This is a young region with vineyards being established in the past 30 years. Like the rest of the Fleurieu Peninsula it is a great place to visit especially with the magical Coorong on its doorstep. There are cellar doors and no shortage of places to eat and stay.
Harvest time: Early February to late April.
