Granite Belt Wine Region
Nestled in the high-altitude region of Queensland, the Granite Belt is Australia’s highest wine region, producing elegant cool-climate and distinctive wines.
This picturesque region only 2.5 hours from Brisbane is where winemakers are admired for their expressions of Shiraz, Chardonnay and intriguing alternative varieties known as Strange Bird Wines like Verdelho and Saperavi.
It’s the ‘non-signature’ that defines the Granite Belt, allowing winemakers to experiment and bend the rules, surprising even the most adventurous of wine lovers.
With small wineries, with boutique-sized production, Granite Belt wines are rarely found in bottleshops, so grab your tasting glass to sip and sample your way around this wine region that’s full of surprises and unlike anywhere else.
