Perth Hills Wine Region, Western Australia

The Perth Hills rise directly behind the capital along the Darling Scarp, their small vineyards tucked into the Bickley, Carmel, and Chittering valleys between orchards and jarrah forest. Elevation and valley air cool an otherwise warm climate, and a colourful spread of varieties – Shiraz and Chardonnay through Zinfandel, Viognier, Mourvedre, and Tempranillo – pours from some of WA’s most personal cellar doors, all within an hour of Perth.

Perth Hills Wine Region at a Glance

Location – The Darling Scarp east of Perth – Bickley Valley, Carmel, Glen Forrest, Chittering.

What Makes Perth Hills Wines Distinctive?

The Perth Hills trades scale for character. Shiraz is generous yet lifted by hill-cooled nights; Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc stay fresh and direct; and small growers delight in the unconventional – Zinfandel, Viognier, Mourvedre, and Tempranillo all thrive on the sunny gravel slopes. Cellar doors are intimate, often the winemaker’s own table, and the Bickley Valley’s boutique trail has become Perth’s favourite quick wine escape.

Key Grape Varieties and Wine Styles

Shiraz – Generous, sunny fruit with hill-night lift.
Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc – Fresh, direct hill whites.
Zinfandel – A Perth Hills specialty on warm gravel slopes.
Viognier – Perfumed, textural white strength.
Mourvedre and Tempranillo – Savoury craft reds.
