South Australia - Riverland
Riverland has long been the centre of Australia's wine industry, boasting vineyards that account for about half of South Australia's total wine production.
Riverland's wine history is much more than volume, and recently major winemakers have reinvented the region to produce some of today's most popular varieties and wine styles
