Barossa Valley, SA
One of Australia’s oldest wine regions is the Barossa Valley and it's the centre that put Australian wines on the world stage – notably big and bold Shiraz. This full-bodied red style with rich chocolate and spice notes is synonymous with the Barossa Valley. But this compact region is more than Shiraz – it’s hot, dry summers and cool, moderate winters are responsible for outstanding Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay and Semillon. A mecca for gourmands and home to some of the most iconic wine brands in Australia, the Barossa valley is also nurturing innovative new artisan winemakers with an affinity for experimentation in styles.
