Overview

  • Located to the east of South Australia. 3rd in production among Australian states.
  • Smaller production and vineyard land than NSW. Focuses more on quality than quantity (exception: Murray-Darling Basin).
  • Average wine prices tend to be higher due to many smaller producers.
  • Most wineries of any state (~775+ as of 2013); 21 distinct GI regions.
  • Vineyards everywhere — from the Murray River banks (NSW border) to the cool coastal Port Phillip zone and Henty.
