Porongurup is one of the five wine producing sub regions within the Great Southern. Despite its small size, the region offers a fantastic array of quality grapes and wines that continue to achieve great results at annual awards. Riesling is classed as the subregions elite variety; however, visitors should expect to taste exceptional quality shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and pinot noir wines with intense flavours.
The semblance of Porongurup is quite different to its towering neighbour of Mount Barker, featuring acres of eucalypt forest and unique bushland, abundant with animal life. It does however share the Mediterranean style climate typical of the Great Southern, providing excellent fruit ripening and acidity retaining conditions.
