Wines from Australia

TheAustralia is a continent-sized country. Larger than Europe, its wide variety of climates, soils, and topography gives winemakers a multitude of options. The oldest vines in the world, often pre-phylloxera, grow alongside the youngest plants of new grape varieties and clones. There has been a revival in the approach to the different terroirs of this country, which is divided into four major production regions: Western Australia (Margaret River), South Australia (Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawara, etc.), Victoria (Yarra Valley, etc.) and New South Wales (Hunter Valley, etc.).
With historical regions favoring certain grape varieties, theAustralia contributes in its own way to the world of wine. Barossa Valley Shiraz has fresh, silky flavors of black cherry, blackberry, and spice. Hunter Valley Semillon develops herbal and citrus notes when young and notes of honey, nuts, and butter with aging.While theAustralia is at the forefront of modern viticulture innovations, traditional methods also have their place.
