The Nannup region, nestled within the larger Blackwood Valley wine zone of Western Australia, offers visitors a unique wine tasting experience away from the busier wine routes. Located about 250 kilometers south east of Perth, this region boasts a temperate climate ideal for growing a variety of grapes. The Blackwood Valley region is characterized by its varied landscape, with vineyards situated at different elevations, some reaching up to 340 meters above sea level. This diversity contributes to a range of microclimates across the region, allowing for the cultivation of both cool-climate and warm-climate grape varieties.
Like its neighbor Margaret River, the Blackwood Valley is known for its classic varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Chardonnay, as well as Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, often featured in blends. Additionally, the region's proximity to other prominent wine zones, including Margaret River, Geographe, and Manjimup, allows for easy exploration of these nearby wine destinations. Visitors to the region can enjoy a peaceful retreat from the more crowded wine routes, sampling local wines and exploring the scenic landscapes of the Blackwood Valley.
