{"title":"Swan District","description":"The Swan Valley is within 30 minutes of Perth’s centre; thus it enjoys a steady stream of willing customers. The area comprises the locally famed Swan Valley as well as the northern plains. As in the Barossa and Loire Valleys, the term ‘valley’ is not what you see when you drive into the region, instead you are surrounded by river plains lined with vines. With a mean January temperature of 24C and very low annual rainfall (150mm) it is classified as a hot, dry Mediterranean climate. The afternoon sea breezes help cool the vines enabling the production of table wines alongside fortified styles. There is very little disease pressure here.","products":[{"product_id":"john-kosovich-rare-muscat","title":"John Kosovich Rare Muscat","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlorious statement of this famous Swan valley style.
