You can find the boutique wines of Perth Hills only 30 minutes from Perth’s CBD, scattered along the hills of the Darling Ranges. Whilst the first vines were planted in the 1880’s, Perth Hills wine region came into its own in 1999 when it was officially declared as a gazetted wine-growing region. By this time the wineries had already gained a reputation for producing fine quality wines, which continues to this day with most of the region’s vineyards and wineries still family-owned and boasting many awards and trophies.
Surrounded by spectacular scenery, the Darling Scarp mountain range plays an essential role in creating diverse microclimates. The warm, dry summers and cool nights allow for wines bursting with flavours as grapes can ripen to perfection. Along with classic varieties, alternative wine styles are also produced here like Chenin Blanc and Tempranillo.
