West Australia - Geographe
Creative communities, gourmet food and wine, endless blue skies, and passionate family-run wineries that produce world-class wines make up the diverse Geographe wine region.
Geographe is one of Australia's most exciting new wine regions and has a long history of producing premium grapes.The number of small-scale winemakers is on the rise, and they are quickly earning a reputation for producing diverse, high-quality wines.
Geographe has a diverse landscape of coastal plains and rolling hills that is bound by the curve of Geographe Bay, a stunning swimming spot.Its natural beauty attracts tourists from all over the world, and the city of Bunbury and other major towns are experiencing a growing food scene.
THE CLIMATE
The predominant south-west sea breezes from the Indian Ocean change the excessively warm temperatures in this area. The summers are dry, but the winters get a lot of rain and have a lot of relative humidity.
THE SOIL
Limestone serves as the ancestor of the coastal tuart sands. A further help to viticulture is a permanent water table at a depth of three to fifteen meters (10 to 49 feet).However, due to the low natural fertility, care must be taken to get the best results. Donnybrook's traditional farming and orchard land has soils that are either gravelly sandy loams or heavier soils that are derived from the gneissic country rock in the valleys. These soils are richer.
