About
Vines
have been grown in Australia since 1788 when the first emigrants from
England arrived there bringing vines with them. The south, southeastern
and southwestern parts of this continent were found to be climatically
ideal for the planting of vineyards. The 1960’s saw a large change
in winemaking here with the introduction of controlled fermentation
that produced fresher white wines. Today, Australia produces consistently
good wines that are generally fruity and soft, however only a very small
quantity rank alongside the best wines of the world.
