Many of Australia's best wines are made here. From the stunning Shiraz produced around Adelaide to the luscious Sémillons of the Hunter Valley, and from the fragrant Pinot Noirs of Tasmania to the lush Chardonnay of Riverina, nearly every grape variety and wine style flourishes in South Eastern Australia, basking in the sun-kissed Mediterranean climate and rich, varied soils.
