About Us

The WGCSA is a “Council of Chiefs” of South Australian Wine Regions. Its charter is to provide South Australian grapegrowers with a peak council and forum for the regional grower organisations to develop policies and strategies to ensure that viticulture remains an economically sustainable industry. The council will provide a single, united voice for grapegrowers on commercial, agri-business, technical, viticultural and environmental matters in industry, government and other forums. WGCSA will achieve its goals through co-operative dialogue with and within all the wine industry’s sectors and organisations.

Some Industry cynics have commented that “the growers are very ambitious if they think they can be all things to all people”. Council is ambitious for wine grape growers but it is NOT council’s intention to be all things to all people. As expressed in the charter, the council will work to coordinate, support, facilitate and encourage grower groups to collaborate more effectively and to advocate more forcefully in matters of common concern or interest in state and federal forums of industry and government organisations. The council will be responsible for appointing the three South Australian delegates to the Wine Grape Growers Australia body (WGGA).
