Occupying hillsides of the extinct volcano, Mount Canobolas, the Australian region of Orange has volcanic, clay soils with patches of terra rossa and an ideal environment for the production of lively Chardonnay, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, and elegant reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Shiraz. At elevations of between 2,000 and 3,300 feet, this is a decidedly cool climate region. It is also nonetheless a major gourmet hotspot, sought out for its restaurants, food festivals and regional specialties like wild berries, local truffles and cheeses.
