climate

Its location at the base of the Victorian Alps is undoubtedly the most defining feature of the King Valley, thus the characterisation as a cool climate region. Nestled on and amongst slopes on the northern side of the Great Dividing Range, the King Valley has longer and warmer ripening periods during autumn than most cool climate regions.

The King Valley is distinctly similar to regions such as Tuscany and the Piemonte in Italy and Alsace in France. This is the basis behind the ability of grape growers and winemakers to achieve exceptional results with Italian grape varieties.
