| The Goulburn region in
northern Victoria has shown a natural affinity with the Northern
Rhône varieties of Shiraz, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, not
surprising considering the uncanny similarities between the two
regions. Steep granite slopes falling away to alluvial valley
floors; a continental climate with comparable sun hours, rainfall
and heat summations. The fruit for Terra Felix is grown by a number
of small family owned vineyards from around the region of Upper
Goulburn, an area which has long been the source of fine wines. In
January 2003, the region was awarded its own GI (Geographical
Indicator) recognition. |
