Macedon Ranges

The Macedon Ranges region continues to grow far more quickly than one would imagine. The beauty and lifestyle of the area, together with its proximity to Melbourne, are all factors contributing to its success. In the context of much of mainland Australia, this is a totally atypical wine region; downright chilly in its windswept south-east and only marginally warmer in its north-west.

The Macedon Ranges region is Australia's coolest wine area. Uniquely suited to the production of ultra premium sparkling wine, it also manages to produce table wines from Riesling, through Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, to Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The size of the wineries is small and is likely to remain so. It is hard to imagine any of the larger wine companies moving in and this, at the end of the day, is exactly how the vignerons of the area wish it to be.
