Beechworth Wine Region The combination of geology, season and terrain combine in perfect harmony for w**e production

Unfolding from the peaks of the Victorian Alps, the Beechworth W**e Region is characterised by undulating hillside altitudes linked by cavernous cutting valleys.

Beneath every Beechworth vineyard lies a geological story millions of years in the making.

The Beechworth GI is founded on two major rock groups: Ordovician greywacke, sandstone, mudstone and shale, and Devonian granite and granodiorite.

These formations have created a complex patchwork of vineyard landscapes across the region. Granite-derived soils, mudstone soils and decomposed rock all feature throughout the GI, while the western boundary contains several granite formations unique to Beechworth.

In the north-east, around Wooragee, rich Permian soils occur alongside granite geology, adding another layer to the region's geological diversity.

It's a reminder that the story of Beechworth w**e begins long before a vine is planted.

When you visit a w**e region, how much attention do you pay to what's beneath the vines?

For many w**e lovers, Beechworth begins with Chardonnay. It rarely ends there.

Alongside Chardonnay, the region's vineyards are home to Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Gamay and Tempranillo.

Over the past decade and a half, producers have continued to broaden the region's varietal mix, with Mediterranean and Spanish varieties becoming an increasingly visible part of Beechworth's w**e identity.

The result is a region that rewards curiosity, whether your interests lie with established classics or newer varietal explorations.

How can one w**e region contain such different growing environments?

In Beechworth, elevation is part of the answer.

The Beechworth GI ranges from approximately 280 metres at its western boundary to 1,050 metres at Mt Stanley, the highest point in the region.

As elevation increases, temperatures generally decrease. Across the growing season (October to April), the area around Stanley (720m) records an average heat summation of 1,240 degree days, while the Golden Ball area (280m) records around 1,725 degree days.

Beechworth is also situated on the continental side of the Victorian Alps, where warm, sunny days help ripen grapes and cool nights temper heat.

Combined with the region's varied topography, these differences create a range of growing conditions across the Beechworth GI.
