South Australia

**South Australia** is the engine room of Australian wine, producing a large share of the nation's output and home to many of its most famous names. **Wines & grapes** — Shiraz is the calling card, especially the rich, powerful reds of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. The region also excels with Cabernet Sauvignon from Coonawarra, Riesling from the cool Clare and Eden Valleys, and Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills. **Character** — Climates range from hot, dry inland valleys to cooler elevated sites, but the reds are typically full-bodied, ripe, and generous with dark fruit and spice. **Good to know** — The Barossa is home to some of the oldest continuously producing Shiraz vines on earth, having escaped the phylloxera louse.
