Australia

Australia’s wine industry is both export-focused and highly diverse, with more than 60 designated regions. The Barossa Valley is world-renowned for Shiraz, while the Hunter Valley produces some of the oldest Semillon vines still in production. Margaret River has built a reputation for elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, and regions like McLaren Vale and Yarra Valley contribute innovative blends and boutique operations. Australian wineries range from large-scale estates with international distribution to smaller family-owned vineyards catering to premium domestic and export markets.
