Australian Wines

Nearly 2,500 miles separate Sydney in the east and Perth in the west. Across this huge distance, Australia offers winemakers a whole smorgasbord of unique and varied terroir. And it's not just about Shiraz; there are over 100 grape varieties grown across the country's 65 wine-producing regions - with Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux Blends, Chardonnay and Riesling being among the most acclaimed internationally. Australia also has a long history of making great wine, with the so-called "First Families of Wine" tracing their history back to the mid-1800s.
