Great Southern

Overview

The Great Southern is the largest wine region in Western Australia, stretching across a cool, remote landscape of forests, farmland, and coastal hills. Despite its size, production remains relatively small, with a focus on quality and site expression.

Riesling from the sub-region of Mount Barker is particularly celebrated for its purity and aging potential. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir also thrive in the region's cool maritime climate, producing wines of elegance rather than sheer power.
