Australian Wines
The Wine industry in Australia is booming due to its warm client. It is the fourht largest exporter in the world, and exports over 400 million litres a year to wine producing-countries such as France, Italy and Spain.
Most of the vineyards are in the South as it is a bit cooler than other parts of Australia.
The major grapes varieties consist of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Riesling.
Australian White Wines
Hugh Hamilton Viognier Mclaren Vale The Loose
This superb wine is from a very small production, less than 10,000 bottles a year. A full flavoured wine with balanced acidity. The hand picked grapes are soft pressed to avoid extracting the bitter phencolics, giving it a long clean finish.
