We’re seeing not just an uptick in quality but a wonderful amount of diversity as a significant number of independent winegrowers are making regionally expressive, terroir-driven wines of real distinction. Where there used to be a monolith of Shiraz or blends that stripped all the regional nuance, varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Reisling and Sémillon now show up on shelves regularly. These efforts have done a lot to show the world that it can also excel in regionally specific mid-range and fine wines using a broader palette of grape varieties. So, if it’s been a while since you’ve browsed the Australian wine section, you may want to give it a look, there are a lot of fun wines to explore!
