Geelong Pinot Noir

Close your eyes and imagine the magical first taste of a fine Geelong Pinot Noir. One of Australia’s best-kept secrets, the region is home to 150+ vineyards and over 60 wineries. The area is renowned for the high calibre of its wines, with Pinot Noir being at the pinnacle of the oenophiles' wish list.

What Makes Geelong the Perfect Region For Pinot Noir?

Geelong wineries have been producing quality wine grapes since shortly after the area’s first towns were founded, with European vines being planted as early as the 1840s. This has allowed Geelong quite a history and reputation for the quality of its wines, and in particular, its Pinot Noir varieties which make up a considerable percentage of the region’s production.

As a lively port town in Victoria, Australia, this cool climate region is respected for its deep crimson wines evoking subtle beetroot notes with aromatic herbs, cinnamon, cherry spices and a slight, alluring earthiness. Gentle on the palate with a lingering, sensuous aroma. The cooler weather of the Geelong wine region makes it an exquisite choice for Pinot Noir, allowing it to maintain the subtlety and depth of flavour that good Pinot is known for. However, a cool climate isn’t the only thing that makes Geelong a hotspot for quality Australian wines.

The source of the wine quality is derived from the rich limestone soils, a feature of the Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula area. The recent wet winter and cooler days have balanced the natural acidity levels of the grapes and yielded superlative crops.
