Choose your favorite Australian Wine among these noted wineries:
The most famous Australian red variety, Shiraz, was the country's first modern international success and has remained a distinctive claim to fame. Like Malbec in Argentina, this Old World grape (known as Syrah in France) finds a unique expression here, becoming deeply concentrated, with nuances of mint, black pepper and eucalyptus in some areas. Dense Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Grenache also have a devoted following around the world, and combinations of all of these (labeled Shiraz/Cabernet, for example, or Cabernet/Merlot) are popular.
