Overview
Geographe is a small but diverse wine region in Western Australia's southwest, nestled between Margaret River and the Great Southern. The maritime climate and varied soils allow for a wide range of grape varieties and wine styles.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Chardonnay lead production, often in elegant, medium-bodied styles. The region is less famous than its Margaret River neighbor, but it offers excellent quality and a more relaxed, undiscovered wine-touring experience.
