Pyrenees mountain range of Western Victoria zone shares its name with the beautiful area that divides France and Spain. Showing a remarkable diversity of microclimates the Pyrenees foothills and ranges provide a wealth of grape variety for winemakers. It's a quintessential Australian wine region with vineyards appearing between the eucalyptus trees. The inland location advances a low relative humidity and substantial diurnal temperatures during spring and early summer. The area receives limited growing season rainfall and generous sunshine hours. Pyrenees soils are grey brown, and feature brown loamy sands and sandy loam improved with gypsum and lime. All these climatic conditions and soil contribute to making Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Shiraz the top grown varieties of the region.
