Strathbogie Ranges Wine Region, Victoria

The Strathbogie Ranges rise in giant granite boulders between the Goulburn Valley and the King Valley, their vineyards planted from around 160 to 650 metres. Cool nights, free-draining decomposed granite, and clean upland air make the district a specialist source of Riesling, sparkling base fruit, and increasingly polished Shiraz and Cabernet.

What Makes Strathbogie Ranges Wines Distinctive?

Granite is the Strathbogie signature: it drains fast, holds the day’s warmth, and yields wines of clarity and line. Riesling is crystalline and lime-fresh – Fowles Wine and Maygars Hill lead the local charge – while the high, cool blocks supply sparkling base fruit prized by major Australian houses. Shiraz and Cabernet from mid-elevations are spicy and medium-weight, and Chardonnay and Pinot Gris round out a quietly accomplished district.
