**Yarra Valley** is a cool-climate wine region in Victoria, Australia, just north-east of Melbourne, and one of the country's most respected areas for elegant, restrained styles. **Wines & grapes** — Pinot Noir and Chardonnay lead the way, both as still wines and as the base for high-quality traditional-method sparkling. Cool-grown Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon also do well. **Character** — Its relatively cool, sometimes marginal climate means grapes ripen slowly, yielding wines with finesse, freshness and moderate alcohol rather than sheer power. The valley's mix of altitudes and aspects lets growers match varieties to sites with real precision. **Good to know** — As one of Victoria's oldest wine areas, it was a pioneer of cool-climate winemaking in Australia.
