Currency Creek Winery, Striking the perfect balance: In the Fleurieu Peninsula Region of South Australia

“The Currency Creek Tourism winery has received the Fleurieu Peninsula’s Wine Tourism Award for 2003”. Cellar Manager Kathy Hill says “Take a look and you’ll know why.” She attributes the success to the stewardship of the Shaw Family.

Their award winning wine maker John Loxton has won international acclaim for “The Black Swamp” Cabernet Sauvignon and “Ostrich Hill” Shiraz, plus an exceptional 2003 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc. John has added intense consistency and depth to all estate vintaged premium varietals.

Ian Bull has returned to take charge at the winery’s restaurant. His expertise with contemporary Australian cuisine is matched by an enthusiasm of wonderful local produce. Try duck medallions, prawn wantons, osso bucco, venison ragout or prime aged fillet of beef. Worth your consideration when next organising a private or business celebration or function.

Vineyards, cellar door, restaurant and function facilities have been upgraded thus striking the perfect balance for devotees of fine wine and outstanding cuisine with the added incentive to relax and pamper yourself in Currency Creek’s luxury vineyard villas.

Then there’s the Black Swamp eco walk!

If you enjoy a grand entrance, Currency Creek Winery welcomes guests by rail and boat. The Winelander steam train departs from Mount Barker, bushfire restrictions permitting and the Water into Wine Tour cruises from Goolwa wharf.

One visitor enthused “The south of France with an Australian accent only 70 minutes from Adelaide.”

AWARD WINNING PREMIUM WINES
Cooling sea breezes and year long mild weather create a unique micro-climate resulting in early bud burst and a prolonged ripening cycle. This assures an annual vintage of premium fruit abounding with intense flavour and quality.

VINEYARD VILLAS
