"Hand-crafted with passion and dedication, Geelong's elegant wines are the expression of a cool climate, rich soils and a unique history. After a winemaking hiatus of more than 100 years, Geelong is again home to many boutique vineyards creating world-class varietal wines... Low rainfall produces a rich concentration of flavour, aroma and colour – the distinctive regional characters of Geelong wines." - Wine Australia
"Abounding in variety, the Geelong Wine Region is renowned for its superior Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Whilst these are the backbone of most winemakers, the Geelong Wine Region is rich in adventurous winemakers. Plantings of Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Merlot and more exotics such as Primitivo, Gamay, Langrein and Carmenere. Recent summers have produced lovely Rosés." - Wine Geelong
