Description

About Angullong

Angullong is a family owned wine company from the premium high elevation, cool climate wine region of Orange in the Central West of New South Wales, located about 350km west of Sydney.

The Angullong vineyards are located on the southern lower slopes of the Orange region at the foothills of Mount Canobolas, an ancient volcano. Angullong’s topography is best described as dramatic. The country ranges from undulating to steep hills with spectacular limestone escarpments that radically descend to the fast flowing Belubula River.

About Orange Wine Region
The Orange region is classified as ‘cool climate’. This means it has a longer cooler ripening period over the summer as opposed to the warmer regions in Australia.

Its high elevation, combined with long warm days and cool nights, gives a gentler ripening ensuring fruit will develop intense fruit flavours.

As a result Orange region wines are particularly stylish with a unique intensity of flavour, great colour, balance, natural acidity and fine tannins.

The Orange region is the only GI (Geographic Indication) that is defined by altitude, the lowest boundary starts at 600 metres above sea level and rises up to 1,400 metres at its highest peak of Mt Canobolas. The highest vineyards are planted at around 1,100 metres.

Over the years the various informal sub-regions of Orange are becoming far more evident. Our sub region at 600 plus metres is a short distance from the high elevation Mount Canobolas sub region. We find that our wines, especially the reds, are slightly fuller and riper, whilst still maintaining the elegance and structure of our cool region.

Our winemaking team has the experience to use the best winemaking techniques for our sub-region. We feel that our wines are continuing to improve, and recent vintages were certainly very good across the whole Orange Region.
