History

Wine, vine and family

With over 200 years of viticulture and winemaking, Australia has a rich wine, vine and family history to explore. Australia offers distinguished sites, the wealth of some of the oldest vines on the planet and multigenerational families whose long-standing dedication provides inspiration, leadership and custodial care of Australia’s most precious vines and wines.

Evolution

Style, variety & region

Australia burst into the export markets in the 1980s and since then has offered the world vibrant, fruit forward wines of exceptional value. Fast forward to the late 1990s and early 2000s, and intense concentrated examples of Shiraz, Grenache and red blends dominated the Australian wine story. In between these two extremes lies the diverse Australian premium and regional offering that has always existed.


Revolution

Latitude, attitude and funk

Whether its innovative techniques in the vineyards, pushing winemaking boundaries or experimentation with non-traditional varieties, there is a trend toward innovation.
