Wine FAQs

Discover Australian red wine

Australia is the place to go for red wines that go the extra mile in flavour, quality and sustainable production.

The country is home to a wide range of red wines, from silky, elegant Pinot Noir to bold, spicy Shiraz and ripe Grenache. Some grape varieties have been grown in Australia since the early 1800s. Coupled with the creativity and innovation of our winemakers, they have helped to establish Australia as one of the world’s leading wine producers.

Supporting our winemakers can also be good for the planet – many Australian winemakers incorporate sustainable and green practices into their red winemaking process to do their part in protecting the environment.

Whether you’re seeking everyday sippers or premium wines to save for a special occasion, Australian red wines have something to offer everyone.



Australia’s red winemaking history

Australian reds hold a special place in the world of wine. The country’s winemaking journey began in the late 18th to early 19th century when vine cuttings were brought over from Europe. The warm Australian climate proved ideal for growing fully ripe, flavourful grapes that turn into rich, full-bodied wines.

By the late 20th century, Australian winemakers had gained international recognition for producing bold, fruit-forward reds. Innovations in viticulture and winemaking techniques have since helped refine the quality of home-grown red wines.

Today, Australian red wines are prized worldwide. Regions like Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale have become known for Shiraz, Australia’s signature red grape, but Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache are also popular.

Australian wineries also tend to focus on sustainability and highlighting unique regional characteristics, ensuring that each bottle reflects the distinct terroir of its region.



What are some of the best-known Australian red wines?


Australia is a red wine lover’s heaven, with a wide variety of different styles.

Shiraz – Australia’s signature red grape, Shiraz makes bold, full-bodied wines with powerful flavours. Expect ripe, dark fruit notes of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, often layered with complex hints of spice, black pepper and dark chocolate. For great-value wines, look for bottles from Barossa Valley or the Hunter Valley.

Cabernet Sauvignon – Prominent in regions like Coonawarra and Margaret River, Australian Cabernet Sauvignon is known for its full-bodied richness and firm tannins. These wines typically have dark fruit flavours such as blackcurrant, often highlighted by a fresh minty note. It’s a wine for those who like something complex and satisfying.

Grenache—The Barossa Valley boasts some of the world’s oldest Grenache vines, producing wines with ripe, juicy red fruit flavours of raspberry and strawberry. These wines are often vibrant and approachable, reflecting the region’s warm climate and rich history.

Merlot – Often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon in Bordeaux-style blends, Merlot plays a crucial role in softening the wine’s structure. It also shines as a single-variety wine in regions such as Margaret River. It has a medium-bodied, velvety texture with red cherry and plum flavours complemented by subtle herbal and spice notes.

Pinot Noir – This thin-skinned grape thrives in Australia’s cooler-climate regions such as the Yarra Valley,
Mornington Peninsula and Tasmania. It creates medium-bodied wines with ripe red cherry, strawberry and
raspberry flavours. The Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is known for its subtle earthiness. Pinot Noir wines from the
Mornington Peninsula are known for their spice, while some Tasmanian styles have a distinctive mineral edge.


What are the top Australian red wine regions?

Australia boasts many wine regions famous for their high-quality red wines. These are the regions you should know:

The Barossa Valley This region in South Australia is renowned for its rich, full-bodied Shiraz wines. The style showcases intense flavours of dark fruit, baking spice and black pepper. Barossa Valley's Mediterranean climate also allows high-quality Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon vines to thrive, contributing to the region’s reputation as a wine-producing powerhouse.

Coonawarra – Known for its unique terra rossa soil, Coonawarra in South Australia excels in making exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The cool climate with maritime influences enhances the wine’s structure and depth, developing soothing flavours of blackcurrant and mint. It’s a standout region for red wine lovers.

The Hunter Valley – In New South Wales, this region is recognised for its excellent Sémillon and Chardonnay. It also produces a distinctive style of Shiraz, which is medium-bodied and earthy with peppery notes. The region’s warm climate contributes to the development of complex, age-worthy red wines that are highly prized.

McLaren Vale – Situated in South Australia, McLaren Vale is celebrated for its diverse red wine varieties, including Shiraz, which is known for its rich, chocolatey flavours. The region’s Mediterranean climate and varied soils produce deep and vibrant Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon wines.

Margaret River – In Western Australia, Margaret River produces outstanding Bordeaux-style reds. Cabernet Sauvignon is a highlight. The grapes develop flavours of blackcurrant and cedar in the maritime climate, making for elegant and balanced wines. If you’re a red wine enthusiast, this region should be on your list.

The Yarra Valley – Situated east of Melbourne, this region’s cooler climate is perfect for producing elegant Pinot Noir. Expect bright cherry and subtle spice notes.


How do I pair Australian red wine with food?

The general rule is to go big when pairing Australian red wine with food! With their characteristic full-bodied, rich and savoury flavours and robust tannins, Australian red wines are wonderful served with robust dishes. Roasted or grilled red meats, hearty stews, and strong cheeses are even more delicious when paired with a glass of Australian red.

Shiraz is known for its bold flavours and peppery notes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled steak or lamb, as the richness of the wine complements their savoury smokiness. Cabernet Sauvignon’s firm tannins and dark fruit flavours make it an excellent match for a hearty beef stew or Sunday roast beef.

As a lighter red, Grenache pairs well with rich, tomato-based dishes like ratatouille or grilled vegetables. Its bright red fruit flavours and spice notes help balance the strong herbs and spices in the dish. Pinot Noir, known for its elegance and cherry notes, pairs beautifully with roast duck or mushroom risotto. The wine’s acidity and fruitiness enhance the earthiness of these dishes.
