The Peel Wine Region first came into being when early Italian immigrants first planted vines in the 1930's. However, the region did not really begin to develop viticulturally until the 1970's.
This region is very close to the city of Perth, which makes it a perfect destination for a day trip. A few wineries have cellar doors, so when stopping around the area, be it Perth or further south at Margaret River, Peel is worth a visit.
The Mediterranean climate varies the further inland you travel, as the cooling, moderating effects of the ocean diminish. The soils vary across the region from 'tuart' sandy soil on the coast to loams and gravelly soils further inland.
