Australia: South Australia

Australia: South AustraliaStraddling the centre of the Australian continent, South Australia is the Australian wine industry’s ‘powerhouse’ State, producing most of Australia’s wine and boasting some of the oldest individual vines in the world.

The old vines found in South Australia’s Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills, through their isolation, survived the great phylloxera plagues that wiped out the vines of North America and Europe, and somewhat later, devastated Australia’s eastern vineyards. Quarantine restrictions were introduced, saving South Australia’s vines from phylloxera, and ensuring the State retained its grape growing status.

In addition to being host to some of the world’s oldest vines, South Australia 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, Southern Fleurieu, Currency Creek and Langhorne Creek regions on the Fleurieu Peninsula and across the cooler Adelaide Hills region to the hotter Riverland region on the Murray River.

The south-eastern part of the State includes the Limestone Coast zone and the 'terra-rossa' soils overlying limestone which give rise to distinct elegant reds of the Coonawarra region. The 'Limestone Coast' zone - which also includes the Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Mount Benson regions - is building its own reputation for wines that are not only influenced by the region’s eponymous limestone but the tempering breezes of the nearby Southern Ocean.

Price: £22.50
The Henschke Johann's Garden is aptly named as a tribute to the early Barossa Lutheran pioneers, many of whom carried the first name of Johann. Their toil, perseverance and conservatism in hardship has meant that the many generations that followed rejoiced in the riches of their prudent efforts.

Located high in the Eden Valley region of South Australia the Mount Edelstone vineyard (meaning gemstone) was planted by Ronald Angas in 1912 with Shiraz.
