 Regional Overview
Visiting Australia? Discover our main wine states and regions
Australian wine regions
Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

Rating: 95 |
The German-born pioneering vignerons used to call their vineyards ęgardens' and this wine has all the multiplicity of smells and flavours of a garden: berries, herbs, spices and tobacco aromas, the supple, smooth and elegant palate flowing effortlessly across the tongue. |

Rating: 94 |
Just so you know, a blend of 38 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 24 per cent merlot, 22 per cent cabernet franc, ten per cent malbec and six per cent petit verdot, with same attention to detail as all the Haan wines. |

Barwang Special Release Merlot 2000 |
Rating: 94 |
The Plantagenet Rocky Horror Vineyard Merlot is the opposite of this wine, which is a subtle as the Plantagenet is assertive, but then all the Barwang wines have a family link of subtlety. |

Yering Station Shiraz Viognier 2001 |
Rating: 96 |
The inclusion of viognier with cool-grown shiraz is not simply a trendy fad; Australian winemakers are finding is near-magical synergy with shiraz. |

Penfolds Grange 1998 |
Rating: 97 |
The hype and astronomic auction prices for the Imperial bottles of this great wine are already part of history. |
