**Fleurieu Peninsula** is a broad wine zone in South Australia, stretching south of Adelaide toward the coast and taking in several well-known districts. **Wines & grapes** — It is best known for full-bodied reds, above all Shiraz and Grenache, with Cabernet Sauvignon also widely planted; McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek sit within its bounds. **Character** — Proximity to the sea brings cooling maritime breezes that temper the warm Mediterranean-style climate, helping the reds keep freshness alongside their generous ripe fruit. Expect wines that are plush and warm-hearted, with the softly structured, berry-rich profile that has made this corner of South Australia a reliable source of characterful reds.
