Cooling breezes off Lake Alexandria and southerlies rolling in from the nearby Southern Ocean temper this region’s warm summer days. Vineyards are planted on a natural flood plain, whose deep, fertile soils produce soft, rich, fruit-driven wines. Traditionally Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz have held court, though Chardonnay, Verdelho and Grenache have stepped up in recent times.
