South Australia - the heart of Australian Wine

Straddling the centre of the Australian continent, South Australia is the heart and powerhouse of Australian wine, producing most of the nation's wine and boasting some of the oldest individual vines in the world.

In addition to being host to some of the world's oldest vines, the State also has a diversity of regions ranging from the relatively warm temperate climate of the Barossa Valley through to the maritime precincts of the McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek regions on the Fleurieu Peninsula. From across the cooler Adelaide Hills region to the hotter Riverland on the Murray River and down to the "terra rossa" soils of the Coonawarra region on the Southern Coast.
South Australian wines are exported to over 100 countries, with the major markets in the UK, USA, Canada, Asia and New Zealand.

 

The Office of the Agent General has a dedicated Wine Portfolio. The objectives of the office are to promote and raise consumer awareness of South Australian wine regions and brands and to support South Australian companies entering and established in market.
