Australia: Western Australia

Western Australia is Australia's largest state spanning the western third of the continent; although the winemaking regions are almost entirely concentrated in the south-western area of the State. These regions include the Swan District near the State capital Perth and, further south, the regions of Peel, Geographe, Blackwood Valley, Pemberton, Manjimup, Great Southern and Margaret River. Two decades ago, Margaret River was better known for the classic surf break lying not far from the junction of river and sea. However, a number of entrepreneurs have driven the development of vineyards and wineries, overcoming the State’s geographic isolation, and carved their mark not just within Australia but around the world. This region has now become well renowned for zesty Sauvignon Blancs, superlative Cabernet Sauvignons and bold Zinfandel.
