Think bold flavours, vibrant fruit characters and wide regional diversity. Shiraz is the country’s flagship red, especially from regions like Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, where it shows rich blackberry, spice, and chocolate notes. Other key varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, Pinot Noir from cooler regions like Yarra Valley and Tasmania, and Grenache from old vines in South Australia. Winemakers in Australia combine innovation with tradition, producing everything from powerful, age-worthy reds to elegant, food-friendly styles that continue to shine on the global stage.
