 Regional Overview
Visiting Australia? Discover our main wine states and regions
Australian wine regions
Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

 Where the wild things are: David Anderson and his Wild Duck Creek
The phone that changed David Anderson's life no longer works. It doesn't need to. It's still there, pinned to a wooden beam of the unfinished, ramshackle front room of his Wild Duck Creek winery at Heathcote in Victoria. When Anderson recreates the moment and lifts the receiver he says, 'Don't know why it doesn't work. Rats must have eaten the cable.'
When we were kings
Life and death in the wine industry
I never would have known. Never would have tasted the wine. Never would have cared when I heard the news - if I hadn't accidentally left my notebook on the boot of my car as I drove away...But I did leave my notebook. And it did have a contact number. And so Brien Cole, winemaker and viticulturalist at the Kings Creek winery, called and I headed back.
