Located about an hour’s drive from Melbourne, the Macedon region is all about boutique wineries, family-owned wine companies, and old-school winemaking. In terms of climate, it is drastically different from most others. It is Australia’s coldest mainland wine region. This also means that successful yields depend on maximum hours of sunshine received, protection of fruit from frost, matching of site and grape variety, and other factors. To add to this, note that the ‘granitic sandy loam’ soils further reduce yields. There are more than 40 wineries in the region, and most swear by their Pinot Noir. Other significant wines include Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, sparklings, and so on.
