About an hour North West of Melbourne, Paramoor Winery is located in the picturesque heart of Australia’s coolest wine region, the Macedon Ranges. Here, cool climate grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon thrive in rich volcanic soils; while the regions Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir grapes are thought to be among the purest in the world.
Along with temperature, it is the changes in terrain and elevation that distinguishes a Macedon Ranges wine. Growers have learned to capitalise on regions unique and often variable micro-climate created by the rugged and undulating landscape. The result is grapes that possess exaggerated, location-specific characteristics that contribute to a distinctiveness and diversity exclusive to this area.
