 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.

Winepros' Notes |

Wine background
First made in 1993 from a blend of 50 per cent Chardonnay grown in the Denmark area, and 50 per cent at Pemberton. In subsequent vintages the sources have varied according to the quality of the available material. | |
| James Halliday Aug 01 1996 Rating: 94 out of 100 | Medium yellow-green; rich, complex and stylish, with high quality spicy barrel-ferment French oak, yet still fruit-driven on the bouquet. The fruit flavours on the palate range through melon, fig, white peach and into a slightly vegetal mode in the manner of the very best cool-grown chardonnays. The oak is perfectly balanced and integrated. |
