Craiglee - The Region

Sunbury is located about 40km northwest of Melbourne on the edge of the urban sprawl. The climate is mediterranean, with cool winters and long hot summers.

Rainfall is a little less than the average for Melbourne, and with deep volcanic soils, the situation is ideal for development of intense fruit flavours in the grapes grown here.
