About the Region Vineyards Wines

Area under vine: 710 ha (1775 acres)

The Geographe region extends from Busselton in the south around and up the west coast to an area just half way to the capital city of West Australia, Perth, and then inland and south along the Darling Range. This range is an escarpment of relatively low hills that extends from north of Perth through to south east of Bunbury. The foothills and hills of the Darling Range between Boyanup and Harvey, east and north east of Bunbury offer a distinct environment. The hilly topography and proximity to the coast result in early sea breezes with moderately high afternoon relative humidities and low temperature variability considering the hot sunny climate slopes of excellent gravelly lime soils that exist from altitudes of about 50 meters to 200 meters or more. In the higher altitude in southern parts of the area around the Ferguson Valley temperatures are at the lower end and provide some exceptional vineyards. There are some excellent frost-free vineyard sites on this escarpment which enjoys cool nights due to the height above sea level all through the growing period.
