Cowra

Cowra is predominately linked with the production of Chardonnay. The modern viticulture history of this regions begins in the early 1970s when Allan Mitchell planted a small experimental vineyard on the banks of the Lachlan. But the region’s winemaking status was more recognised when in the late 1970s Brian Croser made his first Petaluma Chardonnays from Cowra grapes. It has only been recently that wine has been produced in the region; previously the grapes have transported to wineries outside of the region. The climate is regarded as hot. The main wine styles: White – Chardonnay.
