Region:


Barossa

One of Australia's best-known wine regions, the Barossa Valley sits an hour north of Adelaide, where many of the country's most famous wineries are based. In this historic region, old bush vines—some dating back as far as 1860—produce full-bodied wines of dramatic depth and scope, principally from Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. But Shiraz is the region's most popular varietal, with "Barossa Shiraz" almost a recognized brand in its own right, due to its concentrated flavors of juicy black fruit, plush tannins and the sweet spice of American oak. But whites are equally classy here, too, with Barossa's fresh, unoaked Sémillons and always captivating lush Chardonnays.
