Australia

From beaches to the outback, Australia is a vast, diverse country with a hot, sunny climate and wide range of landscapes. Winemaking spans the entire country, but over half of the wines hail from South Australia — including world-renowned regions like the Clare Valley, home to the highly respected Wakefield estate. Though best-known for bold, full-bodied red wines, Australia (Clare Valley in particular) also produces stunning-quality riesling and other crisp whites.
