Adelaide Hills
Adelaide Hills: Idyllic wine hill country
The gently rolling Adelaide Hills are just 20 minutes by car from the center of the city that bears the same name. The cultivation area is located between the Eden Valley to the north and McLaren Vale to the south. The favorable elevation produces exceptionally fresh, fruity wines with good structure. White varieties predominate. Only few grape farmers in the region bottle themselves, but increasing demand for wholesome wines means the area is experiencing an upswing.
South Australia
South Australia: Shiraz as a driving force
South Australia, with the Barossa Valley as the most well-known cultivation area and the city of Adelaide as a wine metropolis, is without a doubt the centre of the Australian wine economy. The wines produced here have brought the Shiraz from “down under” worldwide recognition. They are fully concentrated wines with dark-berried cassis fruit and masterfully supportive oak wood spices. But Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Riesling play more than just a supporting role.
Australia
Australia – A rapid rise to the international elite.
Australia, separated from the other continents by oceans for roughly 50 million years, has almost two hundred years of viticulture history. For a long time, Australians pressed their wines for their own use, with simple, undemanding vines. But later the country began to specialize in classic, European varieties. And with great success –Australian wines today enjoy great prestige and are consumed worldwide..
