Orange

Sitting more than 600m above sea level, Orange in New South Wales is Australia’s highest vineyard area, with a cool climate year-round and cold, snowy winters. The region is dominated by an extinct volcano, which provides a unique combination of geology, soils and distinct weather patterns.

This cool climate hotspot, now home to more than 60 wineries, produces fresh, vibrant wines including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon as well as alternative varieties.

Heartland regions

The heartland regions – Riverland, Riverina and Murray Darling – are wine powerhouses, renowned for their production prowess, global brands and export success. However, their story goes beyond volume. The heartland regions are home to innovative producers leading the charge on alternative varieties, reducing water usage, and adapting to the changing climate. These inland regions produce a diverse range of styles from classic varieties such as Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon to late ripening alternative varieties including Vermentino and Nero d’Avola.
