Australia’s unique climate and landscape have fostered a fiercely independent wine scene, home to a vibrant community of growers, winemakers, viticulturists, and

grape varieties grown across 65 distinct wine regions, we have the freedom to make exceptional wine, and to do it our own way. We’re not beholden by tradition, but continue to push the boundaries in the pursuit

  • f the most diverse, thrilling wines

in the world. That’s just our way.

SLIDE 7 Shortly after the establishment
  • f South Australia, Barossa
is identified as a fertile area well suited to agriculture and viticulture. Barossa steadily grows, becoming a specialist in fortified wines to satisfy consumer tastes. Barossa is first developed by the British. Soon after, Silesian Lutheran immigrants arrive and give the region a German
  • flavour. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon,
Grenache, Mataro, Semillon and Riesling vines are planted.
