Popular Australian Red Wines
Australia is blessed with abundant sunshine and rich soil which enables their grapes to ripen to perfection. No matter how finicky a particular red grape variety is, some part of Australia can give it everything it needs. All of the classic premium red grape varieties in the world are found in abundance in Australia.
Shiraz: Australia excels in producing still and sparkling Shiraz wines. The grape is well-suited to the climate and is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards. The staff at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits recommends the Layer Cake Shiraz from South Australia, winner of the Gold Medal in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
Cabernet Sauvignon: Probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth, Cabernet Sauvignon is full bodied, high in alcohol, and bursting with flavors, including coffee, toffee, and chocolate. The staff at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits recommends the award-winning Wolf Blass Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich and intense wine from South Australia’s finest Cabernet region.
Merlot: Some consider Merlot to be the Chardonnay of red wines. It is the second most popular type of red wine behind Cabernet Sauvignon. A dry, full-bodied wine with flavors of watermelon, strawberry, cherry and plum, it also features soft notes of vanilla, mocha, and cloves. We highly recommend the Lindemans Bin 40, an award-winning Merlot from South Eastern Australia.
Pinot Noir: Pinot Noir features strong, oaky overtones and is considered a moderately dry medium-to-light bodied wine. The staff at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits recommends the Yellow Tail Pinot Noir, one of the most popular wines from South Eastern Australia. It has won prizes at multiple wine competitions, including the Sydney International Wine Competition and the The TEXSOM International Wine Awards.
