Victoria’s Most Exciting Wine Region
The Upper Goulburn is a diverse, super premium, wine region, where most of the vineyards are planted at elevations of between 300 and 500 metres, and are often blanketed with snow in winter. Here the cool climate and frequent frosts keep yields low thus concentrating flavour and contributing complexity.
Chardonnay is the major white wine of the region. It has considerable weight and richness, showing flavours of stone fruit, nectarine, citrus, and melon. The riesling and gewürztraminer wines are superbly elegant and aromatic, while the sauvignon blanc is tangy, crisp and racy.
The red wines are refined and textured, with complex cool climate flavours sometimes reminiscent of Europe. Pinot noir is popular with different styles from strawberry and cherry flavours on the higher slopes, to the richer plum flavours lower down. The shiraz wines have reached a high standard and regularly win medals. They are fine, perfumed, elegant, and represent great value. The region also produces some remarkable sparkling wines. The Upper Goulburn Wine Region is a exciting to explore for wines that are interesting, diverse, and very good value.
