 Regional Overview
Visiting Australia? Discover our main wine states and regions
Australian wine regions
Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

Pol Roger Vintage 1995 |
Rating: 95 |
I cannot wait for the 1996 Pol Roger, which has produced a steady stream of absolutely outstanding vintage wines over the decades, indeed back to the fabulous 1921 and 1914, vintages, both of which I have tasted. |

Lanson Grande Reserve Brut 1996 |
Rating: 94 |
Strong straw-green colour is a promising start, confirmed by the near-luscious stone fruit, baked apple and spice aromas of the bouquet; just when you think the wine is going to be over the top, intense, lingering acidity cuts right across the fruit, giving a zesty juiciness to the palate. |

Louis Roederer Cristal 1996 |
Rating: 97 |
Curiously, it is much easier to find Cristal in Australia than it is in the United States, where it is prized in much the same way as it was by the Russian Tzars. |

Dom Perignon Vinotheque 1988 |
Rating: 98 |
The absolutely stunning 1995 Dom Perignon, laden with toasty brioche flavours, had the misfortune to come up against this special, recently disgorged release from Dom Perignon, akin to the Krug Collection concept, and which will be a permanent part of the future. |
