South Australia
With household names such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills and Coonawarra, it should come as no surprise that the state of South Australia is responsible for half of the total national production. For all its size this is no bulk region, with many of Australia's finest wines produced in the state and most of the scientific research and development facilities located in and around Adelaide, the state capital. Bordered by the Great Australian Bight to the south, production is limited to the south-east corner of the state - it is simply too hot further north to produce wine capable grapes. There is a vast range of soils and growing conditions, thanks to topography and climate changes, and the state is capable of producing a broad spectrum of wines. Full-blooded Shiraz, bone-dry cool-climate Riesling, deep-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon, lusty Grenache, and brisk, elegant Adelaide Hills Chardonnay are just the tip of the iceberg.

Coonawarra
In the remote south-eastern corner of South Australia, close to the Victorian border, lies a geological anomaly that has for over a century produced wines quite unlike those made in the warmer climates further north. Just above the dusty hamlet of Penola lies a perfectly flat, thin strip of land 15 kilometres long and not much more than one and a half wide. Dig a foot or so beneath the crumbly red topsoil, and you reach pure, free draining limestone, and then six feet beyond that lies the water table. Better conditions for fruit growing would be hard to find anywhere. With the warm, dry summers tempered by the influence of the Southern Ocean 60 kilometres away, grapes have a chance to develop rich, full flavours as the mild maritime climate extends the ripening season. Cabernet Sauvignon is king and the full, opulent wines with firm integrated tannins region are some of Australia's best. Coonawarra grown Chardonnay, Riesling, Shiraz and Malbec also produce clean cool-climate wines with ripe fruit and good acidity.

Grape Variety

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world`s most widely recognised red grape varieties. It is grown in almost every major wine producing country and its wines are typically full-bodied and characterised by their high tannin content which provides structure, while supporting the rich, dark fruit flavours. With dominant dark-fruit aromas of blackcurrants, styles from various regions may also have flavours of eucalyptus, mint and tobacco. Its high tannin and acidity makes for excellent ageing potential.
