Australia: Victoria
 The Victoria wine region is tucked into the south-eastern corner of the Australian mainland. Here the warm-climate regions of Murray Darling and Swan Hill are situated along the Murray River in the north west of Victoria. Further east along the Murray River, the region of Rutherglen has carved a reputation for unique fortified wine styles such as Muscat which boast the sweetest fruit flavours concentrated through long dry autumns.
Victoria’s other wine producing regions are generally cooler than those of to the north and west. The Yarra Valley region just half an hour’s drive from Melbourne is producing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines of immense elegance and delicacy. In the Alpine Valleys region, autumn comes fast and winemakers strive to ripen fruit before the frosts take their toll; but their losses are balanced by the rich, complex wines that are produced through the benefit of cool summers.
