Australian Wine: Iconic Shiraz, Cabernet, Chardonnay & More

Australia's Great Wine Regions

Australia's wine regions are as varied as its landscape.

The Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale in South Australia are famous for bold, rich Shiraz and Grenache. Coonawarra, with its distinctive red terra rossa soil, produces some of the country's finest Cabernet Sauvignon. The Clare Valley and Eden Valley are home to world class Riesling.

In Western Australia, Margaret River is renowned for elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay. The Hunter Valley in New South Wales is celebrated for its unique aged Semillon and earthy Shiraz.

Cooler regions like the Yarra Valley, Adelaide Hills, Mornington Peninsula, and Tasmania specialise in refined Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wine. And in the northeast, Rutherglen crafts some of the world's greatest fortified Muscat.

Iconic Australian Wine Styles

Shiraz is Australia's signature grape and its gift to the wine world. Rich, generous, and full of dark fruit and spice, it ranges from powerful Barossa blockbusters to elegant, peppery cool climate styles. Explore the boldest examples in our full bodied red wine collection.

Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in regions like Coonawarra and Margaret River, producing structured, age worthy reds with blackcurrant and cedar notes.

Chardonnay is Australia's flagship white, made in everything from lean and mineral to rich and creamy styles. Crisp Riesling, aged Semillon, and zesty Sauvignon Blanc complete a world class lineup of Aussie white wines.

Australian Rosé has soared in popularity, with bright, fruit forward pinks from across the country. Discover them in our Australian rosé collection.

Australia is also famous for its fortified and dessert wines, from rich Tawny to luscious Rutherglen Muscat and Botrytis Semillon, all found in our sweet wine range.

How to Serve Australian Wine

Serving temperature depends on the style. Full bodied Australian reds like Shiraz and Cabernet are best at cool room temperature, around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, and benefit from a little time to breathe. Whites and rosés should be served chilled, around 7 to 10 degrees. Sparkling and fortified styles each have their own sweet spot, but as a rule, a good chill suits almost everything on a warm Australian day.

Food Pairing Ideas

Australian wine is made for our outdoor, relaxed way of eating. A bold Shiraz is unbeatable with barbecued meats and grilled lamb. Cabernet loves a good steak, while Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken and seafood. Crisp Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are perfect with fresh prawns and salads, and a chilled rosé suits just about anything in the sunshine. For dessert, a glass of Rutherglen Muscat alongside something chocolatey is hard to beat.
