Victoria is the second smallest state but is home to more regions and individual wineries than any other state in Australia. Located in the southeast corner of Australia, a cool, ocean influenced climate and a diverse terroir lead to a varied range of wine styles. This diversity allows for the production of nearly every imaginable wine style from fine sparkling wine, high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, age-worthy Cabernet, savoury Shiraz and the historic fortified wines of Rutherglen.
