From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines.

It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.
