South Australia
South Australia is one of the country's most diverse wine regions, offering a range of climates, topography and soil compositions, allowing winemakers to craft consistent and fresh, fruit-driven wines. South Australia, found in south Australia, encompasses many smaller sub-regions, including Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra and Riverland. Isolated from the rest of the world, many of the vines in South Australia survived the great phylloxera plagues that destroyed vineyards throughout the rest of the world. These older vineyards are highly prized by Australian winemakers.
