The sub regions of Geographe are characterised by diverse micro climates as a result of elevated rolling hills, cool sheltered valleys and mild ocean breezes off the Geographe Bay. While the region produces exceptional Shiraz and Chardonnay, it is becoming increasingly associated with lesser-known Spanish and Italian varietals, such as Fiano, Arneis, Malbec, Tempranillo, Nebbiolo and Vermentino.
