Western Australia

Fans of Aussie wine will be familiar with Western Australia's beautifully complex Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône varietals and blends. Lying south of Perth around the southwestern tip of the country, this relatively small area produces just five percent of Australia's wine. But when it comes to quality, Western Australia punches well above its weight. Well-known small sub-regions within Western Australia include Margaret River, Frankland River and the Blackwood Valley, where the dynamic Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs and Rieslings are distinctly European in character.
