The climate depends on the altitude. In a radius of 60 km around the town of Orange, the climate can vary from very hot to quite heavy in the mountain area at Mount Conobolas. The high ultraviolet radiation helps the ripening process well. The wind can be both friend and foe by helping to chase away night frosts, but it also negatively affects the weaker varieties of wine.
Soil & Topography
The bottom of Orange can be divided into 4 groups; good moisture-permeable and crumbly, red-brown clay, yellow-brown clay and finally limestone. The area is characterized by a friendly, hilly landscape.

Climate
The Margaret River’s climate is more heavily influenced by the sea than any other region in Australia. This region has the lowest average annual temperature range, of only 7.6 ºC, the climate in this region most resembles the Mediterranean climate, given the rainfall, between October and April only 200mm of the total 1160mm of rain falls. The low day and seasonal temperatures create an unusual build-up of heat. Overall, the climate (in terms of heat) resembles that of Bordeaux in a dry wine year.
Soil & Topography
Margaret River’s landscape varies constantly, given its character through the small curves and gentle valleys, as well as the abundance of natural tree growth, shrubs and flowers. The main function of these trees is to protect the sea breeze. The bottom is mainly pebble or stony sand loam, formed directly by the underlying granite. When damp, the soils are particularly permeable, but the moisture quickly drains from the sloping terrain, the capacity for retaining the water is generally low.

Climate
The climate in the Barossa Valley is characterized by a lot of heat and drought, with low relative humidity and precipitation in the growing season. This region has a rural nature, with cool to cold nights and hot summer temperatures during the day. The long hours of sunshine a day and the biological effect of the temperature are (surprisingly) a little warmer than those of Bordeaux and the Margaret River region. The grapes are harvested from late February to late April.
Soil & Topography
The topography of the Barossa Valley is characterized by an intricate system of transverse sub-valleys and winding hills, resulting in many different slopes, locations and terrains. The soils in the Barossa Valley vary widely, but fall under a relatively low fertile clay-loam, extending to more sandy soils ranging from gray-brown to red. As is common in South East Australia, the subsoil contains increased acidity, with limited root growth and energy.

It is a real continental climate. There is a certain height (220-375 mt). This results in relatively wet springs and early summers. Temperatures are average later in the summer. A challenge for the region is the few regulation drops during the growing season and the absence of much groundwater. Nevertheless, efforts are being made to meet these challenges.
Soil & Topography
There is a mix of gray-brown sandy soil combined with brown sandy soil. The substrate can be acidic. This, combined with the climate, results in average grape growth.

It is not disputable that it is a cool climate, but to find out exactly how cool it is differs very much from where it is measured. Relative humidity is high, hours of sunshine abound, and rainfall enough during winter and spring.

The most northerly, inland subregion of Great Southern, Mediterranean when it comes to rainfall in winter and spring, as well as continental, benefiting (in particular) Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.A unique feature is the sea breeze making its way inland in the late afternoon, bringing the temperature down by 2ºC.The total rainfall decreases from west to east, because of the salinity in both the soil and the surface water makes irrigation very difficult.The answer to these difficulties is a complex and extensive system with very long channels and discharge, with long-range dams and pumps.

Climate
The region is part of the Southern Tablelands, approximately 150 kilometers inland from the Pacific. The region receives moderate, but variable rainfall and vineyards require additional irrigation in most vintages. Typical vineyard heights range between 500 and 900 meters (1,600 and 3,000 feet), and the inland location results in a relatively high continentality, possibly explaining the affinity for the leading varieties like Shiraz and Riesling.
Soil & Topography
The soils mainly fit into the hard red group, with brown clay loam from soils that are usually shallow. The surface is not very water-retaining, so irrigation is important.
