There is no mandatory indication in laws and regulations on the grape producing areas, and it is not necessary to be the location of the winery. However, if it is a blend to be marked, you can choose to mark provinces/regions such as South Australia/Limestone Coast, regions such as Coonawarra and Sub-regions.

(1) mark a single grape producing area. At least 85% of the grapes are from this grape producing area.

(2) If it is blend, at most 3 grape producing areas will be marked, with the marked producing areas accounting for more than 95% of the whole, with a single producing area containing at least 5%.

4. Landmark Australia refers to those brands or wines that can represent the highest quality of Australian wines and have great influence in the world. 1. Australia is a new world wine producer, and Australian wines can be divided into new world wines.

2. Australia has a superior geographical position and is suitable for grape planting and growth. Australia's natural environment is excellent, with a vast territory and few people, no pollution and absolutely green products. Australia has plenty of sunshine all the year round. Grapes grow well without any pollution. The brewed wine is naturally full and rich, and the taste of the wine is soft, fruity and fresh, which is easy to eat. It is especially suitable for people who drink wine for the first time and is very suitable for Chinese dishes.

3. Winemakers in Australia generally use oak barrel storage and low-temperature fermentation technology when making wine, so the wine produced is characterized by rich taste and chocolate and fruit fragrance.

6. The stability of wine quality is a great advantage of Australian wine. The brewing method here is different from that in Europe. If the European brewing industry belongs to the agricultural category, the Australian brewing industry should be called industry. The traditional winemaking method strictly followed in Europe, the quality of wine is closely related to the climate. In bad years, the quality of wine will be greatly affected. Australia is mostly a large winery, adopting advanced brewing technology and modern brewing equipment, coupled with Australia's stable climate conditions, the quality of wine produced every year is relatively stable; So you don't have to think too much about the year when you buy it, as you do when you choose European wine. The innovative and outstanding wine-making technology in Australia makes most Australian wines taste excellent when they are young without aging. South Australia traverses the middle of the Australian continent, producing more than half of the country's wine, and is proud of having some of the oldest vines in the world. In Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills in South Australia, people found these admirable old vines. Because of their isolation from the world, they survived the plague of root nodule aphids that swept across North America and Europe and later ravaged vineyards on the east coast of Australia, destroying a large number of vines. Strict quarantine system has been implemented to prevent the grapevines here from being invaded by phylloxera, so as to ensure that South Australia maintains its important position in grape cultivation.

In addition to having the oldest grapevine in the world, there are various natural conditions in this state. The climate of Barossa Valley is relatively mild, and the coastal McLaren Vale, Southern Fleurier, Currency Creek and Langhorne Creek in Fleurier belong to maritime climate. The Adelaide Hills is cooler, while the Riverland in murray river is hotter. The southeastern part of this state includes the Limestone Coast, where the "terra rossa" ("Trossa") soil is covered with limestone, creating favorable conditions for producing Coonawarra red wine with unique style and elegant flavor. Limestone Coast, which also includes Padthaway, Wrattonbully and Mount Benson, is building a reputation for its wines, which are not only influenced by the limestone soil with the same name as this area, but also have a gentle breeze on the nearby southern ocean.

South Australia has become Australia's largest wine producer with a unique and excellent environment, and its output is more than half of that of Australia. The climate here is warm, and the wine produced is rich and full, with deep color. Almost all the most famous and expensive wines in Australia that have won international awards are produced here. Western Australia is the largest state in Australia, covering the western third of the whole continent. However, the grape producing areas are almost entirely concentrated in the southwest of the state. These areas include the Swan area near Perth, the state capital, and further south are Peel (Pierre), Geographe (Geograffie), Blackwood Valley (Black Forest Valley), Pemberton (Pemberton), Manjimup (Man Jim), Great Southern (Great South) and Margaret River.

twenty years ago, Margaret River was famous for its classic surf zone where rivers and seawater meet. However, entrepreneurs overcame the geographical isolation of this area and developed many vineyards and wineries, making this area not only known in China, but also famous in the world. This area is famous for producing vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and quite bold Zinfandel.
