<p>Cool climate/Elevation 300-800m The Hilltops and Canberra District wine regions in the south of New South Wales are located on the flanks of Great Dividing Range. Wine growing is a relatively recent phenomenon, the first vineyards planted in the late 1960s. Although described as a cool-climate area, summers are often hot with prolonged sunshine hours. The Hilltops region is located on south-western slopes. Mc William&rsquo;s Barwang vineyard is an exemplary site. The Canberra district located on elevated tablelands (about 500m) is much drier during the growing season requiring irrigation. Spring frosts can be a problem, although most vineyards have been rigorously sited. Soils are granitic to sedimentary. Clonakilla Shiraz-Viognier epitomizes the sheer potential of this district.

Cool climate/Elevation 450m The Eden Valley, a sub region of the Barossa, is situated in the Barossa Range to the east overlooking the Barossa Valley. Because the topography is so varied and the climate neatly balanced, it produces a range of excellent wines. The soils in the Eden Valley are derived from schistic and sedimentary rock. They are mostly red clay soils and sandy silty loams interspersed with schistic gravels. This region is widely known for its Riesling as the high altitude and cool climate of the region produces wines with great complexity and capacity for long-term cellaring. The Eden Valley is also emerging as an important area for Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Water availability is a limiting factor in the spread of vineyards. Andrew Caillard MW, Langton's
