Western Australia

Western Australia is Australia’s largest state occupying the entire western third of the country. Even though it stretches so far west the wine regions are almost entirely situated in the cooler climate of its south-west tip. It produces less than 5% of the country’s overall wine production, but in terms of quality it is near the top.The Swan Valley, established in 1829 by Thomas Waters, is the historical centre for wine production but the state’s cooler climate wine regions, such as Margaret River and The Great Southern, are considered more significant due to the fact that the Swan Valley is one of the hottest viticultural regions in the world.
