About the region

Today, the Geelong wine region boasts over 50 vineyards growing a strong, diverse range of high quality wines made from Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz. In addition, recent vintages of Viognier and Riesling wines have created additional cachet for this relatively young wine growing region.

The Bellarine Peninsula district, with a maritime climate of stunningly warm days and cool nights, is ideal for producing cool climate wines. The region enjoys a rich black basalt soil land over limestone, which combines with long, slow summers that enable suburb fruit ripening and the creation of rich, lush wines of notable distinction.
