The Perth Hills region is located approximately 1 hours’ drive North East of Perth (West Australia’s Capital City) and extends roughly 100km North to South. There are 25 small wine producers in this region that are located in the foothills of the Darling Ranges, where there are altitudes of up to 300-400 above sea level. This microclimate provides cool nights in late Summer and Autumn and is ideal for Vermentino, Viognier, Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Durif. This region is a unique and valuable part of WA’s wine making heritage, and today many vineyards are quickly gaining recognition for their high-quality award-winning wines.

Known for its scenic beauty, the hilly terrain provides a range of microclimates, allowing winemakers to select the most fertile sites for their vines. The Mediterranean climate comprises warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters which enable rich, flavourful grapes to develop. Soil throughout the region is primarily composed of clay and sandy/gravelly loams, which are well-draining and fertile thanks to the rolling hillside landscape. These soils, combined with the favourable climate, provide ideal growing conditions for a wide range of grape varieties sought after by wine enthusiasts.
