Research status
Where this page is headed
We are checking the current release, the producer record, and the bottle itself. Until that work is complete, this page reports only the facts carried by the dated store feed and shared region and grape research.
Getting to know Australia.
An Australian label establishes country origin but covers many different vineyard settings. The named region, when present, is needed before attaching local climate or soil detail.
How grapes grow here
Australian wine regions range from cool maritime and high-elevation sites to warm inland districts. The country name cannot describe one growing season or temperature pattern.
What lies under the vines
Ancient weathered ground, limestone, sand, clay, gravel and alluvial soils occur across the registered regions. No single soil profile follows from an Australia-only label.
How large the region is
- Wine regions
- Wine Australia reports about 65 wine-growing regions.
- Growers
- The national sector includes about 6,000 grape growers.
Places within the region
- Registered places
- The Wine Australia register separates the national GI from states, zones, regions and subregions.
- What to check next
- Look for a place such as Barossa Valley, Margaret River, Riverland or Tasmania before adding regional detail.
Getting to know Merlot.
Merlot is a red grape that can make a complete wine or soften a Cabernet-led blend. It generally ripens earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon and often has a rounder structure.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Regional guides describe plum and other red or dark fruit, with less forceful tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon in many examples. Climate and blending can make it fresh and medium-bodied or broader and richer.
