Victoria

Victoria’s varied climates and soils mean it can produce almost every wine style—from sparkling to fortified, and everything in between.

The Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Heathcote, Rutherglen, and the Grampians are among the best known, each offering a distinct style.

Pinot Noir and Chardonnay dominate in the cooler regions, while Shiraz is a standout in places like Heathcote and the Grampians. Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and Italian varietals also shine.

Yarra Valley Pinot Noir is often more fruit-forward and vibrant than Burgundy, but still elegant, silky, and terroir-driven. It’s one of Australia’s finest Pinot regions.

Heathcote Shiraz grows on ancient Cambrian soils, producing rich, deeply flavoured wines with excellent structure and cellaring potential.

Yes. Top Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Shiraz can age gracefully for decades, while fortified wines from Rutherglen are some of the most long-lived in the world.

Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with duck or mushroom dishes, Chardonnay with seafood or roast chicken, and Heathcote Shiraz with grilled meats or slow-cooked lamb.

South Australia is often known for bolder, richer styles (like Barossa Shiraz), while Victoria leans toward elegance, finesse, and cool-climate freshness.

While some premium bottlings can be costly, Victoria offers fantastic value across all price points, especially from boutique and family-run wineries.
