Austrailia & New Zealand
Australia and New Zealand are both renowned wine-producing countries known for their diverse climates, terroir, and grape varieties, which result in a wide range of high-quality wines. Australia is known for producing bold, fruit-forward wines, particularly from regions such as Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Margaret River. Shiraz (Syrah) is Australia's flagship red grape variety, producing rich and spicy wines with flavors of blackberry, plum, and pepper. Additionally, Australia is famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Grenache blends, as well as its fresh and vibrant Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc wines. New Zealand is renowned for its cool-climate wines, particularly from regions such as Marlborough, Central Otago, and Hawke's Bay. Marlborough, in particular, is famous for its crisp and aromatic Sauvignon Blanc wines, which showcase flavors of gooseberry, passionfruit, and citrus. New Zealand also produces exceptional Pinot Noir wines, known for their bright red fruit flavors, silky texture, and subtle earthy undertones, as well as elegant Chardonnay and vibrant Pinot Gris wines.
