Wineries of Gippsland

 

GippsIand is a diverse natural environment with pristine conditions, ideal for the production of clean fresh produce. With varying climatic conditions and soil types throughout this vast region, the opportunity to create is limited only by ones imagination. The range of produce currently available varies from our traditional foods such as beef, lamb, vegetables, seafood and dairy products to the new emerging products of speciality cheeses, olives, smoked meats such as venison and eel, boutique beer and wine.

The GippsIand Wine Industry beginning dates to the early part of the Twentieth century with vineyards scattered all over GippsIand as settlers to this new region experimented with different agricultural pursuits. Using techniques learned in their homelands they endeavoured to forge out a living in a new environment. Some succeeded and others failed but unfortunately due to the economic depression and variability of the climate, all vineyards and wineries failed to exist into the middle of this century It was not until the 1970s when wine popularity increased that people began planting vines in this region again. Armed with new technology and grape varieties suited to the GippsIand environment small vineyards started emerging once more. Some 30 licensed wineries now exist in GippsIand with up to another 40 Vineyards supplying grapes to the regions wineries and others farther afield in the Yarra Valley.

GippsIand is a unique Wine Zone recognised by the EEC for export that offers its winemakers the opportunity to produce premium cool climate wines. The GippsIand climate is influenced by the Great Dividing Range to the north, the Strzelecki Ranges in the mid& and Bass Strait to the south. This produces mild summers with sea breezes, cooling temperatures and prolonging the ripening process, allowing vines to develop more flavours in the grapes. The resultant wines have full fruit flavours and rich cool climate characters.

Although soil rainfall and individual microclimates vary from vineyard to vineyard throughout GippsIand the overall quality of the wines produced in GippsIand is obvious to the taste.
Full chardonnay, floral riesling, fruity pinot noir, grassy sauvignon blanc, peppery shiraz and spicy cabernet are just some of the varieties available to tantalise your taste buds.

The wineries of GippsIand offer you a chance to meet the people behind the label chat with the winemaker and make new friends as you discover this emerging hospitable wine region of GippsIand So dont miss the opportunity to taste and sample GippsIand finest with an endless platter to tantalise your tastebuds.

When you plan your tour of GippsIand, dont forget the gourmet delights of this rich Regional Area Fresh fruits, smoked meats, award winning cheeses, platters of fresh seafood and multitudes of flavours can be found just around the next corner at the many provenders, eateries & restaurants.
