There are more than 60,000 vineyards in Australia, covering around 160,000 hectares of land in the country. The majority of Australian vineyards are located in the southern states of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Furthermore, the Australian wine industry is world-renowned for its high-quality wines, and the country is home to some of the oldest vines in the world. The majority of Australian wines are made from Shiraz, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, although there is a growing trend for alternative varieties such as Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.

The Australian climate is ideal for grape growing, with warm summers and cool winters. The country's diverse landscape also provides a range of different terroirs, or growing conditions, which allow winemakers to produce a wide variety of styles. Some of the best vineyards in Australia include the ones in the famous Barossa Valley, which is one of Australia’s most famous wine regions and is home to some of the country’s oldest and most iconic vineyards.
