July 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Thousands of British citizens venture to Australia year after year, either via immigration or as a more favourable winter resort. Majestic Wine discovers why the Australian culture attracts so many visitors, and how their wine industry is thriving as the 4th biggest wine exporter in the world.

Described by Majestic as “making examples of nearly all the major classic wine styles, albeit with an unmistakably modern interpretation”, the 6th largest wine producing region in the world, has a lot to offer. As far back as the 1950s, Australia has been at the forefront of the wine producing game, creating and encouraging various modern winemaking techniques which reflect the laid back yet vibrant character of the much loved Australian culture.

Exporting examples of almost all the classic wine styles, Australian wines sample and experiment with grape variety and modern winemaking techniques to create an instantly recognisable modern edge. White wine in particular has come far in Australia, since the 1990’s Chardonnays now match the stunning elegance of favourites such as classic white Burgundies.

Commercially, around 130 grape varieties are used in Australian wine production, including impressive and innovative contributions to the export of dessert wine, which you can find fantastic examples of in Majestic’s mixed case selections. Set apart from European producers, Australia have taken time to study their viticultural land and introduced ground-breaking canopy management systems to ensure the highest quality grape growth and production.

South Australian wine is responsible for over half the production of all Australian wine, with the famous Barossa Valley turning out some of the world’s finest examples of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from hugely successful wineries such as Penfolds. The Penfolds Bin 138 Shiraz Grenache Mourvédre 2007/2008 Barossa Valley is a superb illustration of excellent vintage wine from Penfolds, displaying a ripe, fruity taste and fruit-cake spiciness.

Barossa Valley also plays host to McGuigan wines, who excel in premium wine production from their dry-grown vineyards, specialities like the McGuigan Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Barossa Valley show off a deep, balanced structure of berries and cassis offering up a warm, smooth, juicy red that is a luxury to taste.

Western Australian wine has also become exceedingly popular with the modern consumer. Swan Valley, the largest source of West Australian wine promotes fertile soils and a Mediterranean climate, ideal for grape growing and producing crisp, fruity white wines. The wide range of climates and ample variety of terrains allows consumer favourites such as the Cape Mentelle Semillon Sauvignon 2008 Margaret River to grow well, particularly in the Hunter Valley regions around Margaret River.

Whichever area of Australia you may choose to visit, you can guarantee a superb accompaniment to dining specialities with full glasses of relaxing flavours. Customers can view the current Majestic offers on Australian wine, New Zealand wine and Chilean wine at www.majestic.co.uk.
