The country’s better-known wines come from South Australia. Regions like the Barossa Valley are ideal for growing ripe Shiraz grapes, elsewhere known as Syrah. Expect jammy red fruit, chocolate, dried herbs and freshly cracked black peppercorns in every glass of luscious and coating red wine.


Then there’s the coldest regions inland, like the fantastic Yarra Valley near Melbourne. Here you’ll find awe-inspiring Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wine. The stuff is on par with the best of California and France.

Did you know the famous Champagne House Möet & Chandon has a winery in Australia? That’s because the country has it all, even the specific climate to craft high-quality bubbles.


And there’s more. If you’ve ever heard about Portugal’s famous Port, well, Australia has its own version as well. Locals call them ‘stickies’ because these extravagantly sweet wines are syrupy and palate coating. This is just a drop in the bucket.


Over 160 grape varieties are scattered across the 146,000 hectares of vines. Listen to this; there are 2,500 wineries in Australia across a whopping 65 wine regions. Do you think you know Australian wine? It’s much more than Yellow Tail; it’s a world to discover.

A 24-hour flight will take to the land of kangaroos, in what’s the most remote country on the planet, but be warned; you might not want to leave!
Only one word could describe Australia fairly — diversity. And that applies to everything, the weather, the people, the food and most importantly, the tasty wine. As Australians say, ‘Go give Australia a fair shake of the sauce bottle,’ because there’s something for everyone down under.
