Pyrenees Wine Region
The Pyrenees foothills and ranges provide a stunning back drop to a region that amply rewards those seeking wines of character and interest.
The Pyrenees is famous for its high-quality boutique wines of the French Bordeaux variety.
Fragrant Shiraz and complex Cabernet Sauvignon excel through the region. Although traditionally a red wine region, the wineries are now producing high quality Methode Traditionale Champenoise, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling on tasting.
Varietals such as Sangiovese and Tempranillo are also emerging from a number of wineries. The intimacy of the area is evident when visiting any of the wineries in the region; the winemakers are often on hand to discuss their personal wine styles with visitors.
The tour takes you to signature wineries for tastings, included also in the tour, a Cheese platter, Lunch at a winery restaurant or similar, complementary gift pack with a bottle of French Bordeaux wine.
Black Cockatoo Wine Trail
Against a backdrop of the Mt Langi Ghiran ranges you will find the wineries of the Black Cockatoo Wine Trail
The Wineries of the Black Cockatoo Wine Trail are a veritable living and breathing museum of vineyards and wineries, this is a cool dry region with lots of sun that favours intense and spicy Shiraz and gorgeously crisp Reisling.
Known for its Australian Sparkling wine, the Mount Langi Ghiran wineries still loves its bubbles but the region is also known for its Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as some Spanish / Italian varieties to temp you.
