Orange

Overview

Orange is one of Australia's highest wine regions, with vineyards planted above 600 meters on the slopes of an extinct volcano. The elevation creates a cool climate with long ripening periods, ideal for grapes that need acidity and finesse.

Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz are the main varieties, often produced in a restrained, elegant style. The region is also known for its food and wine tourism, with orchards, restaurants, and cellar doors scattered across the picturesque volcanic landscape.

Key Varietals

• Pinot NoirAn elegant red with red cherry, spice, and fine, silky tannins.
• ChardonnayA refined white with citrus, stone fruit, and subtle minerality.
• ShirazA medium-bodied red with pepper, red berry, and cool-climate spice.
