Description
Australia’s biggest state is virtually all desert but it does have a cool coastal skirt that runs south from the state capital, Perth, and around the southwestern corner to parts kept cool and damp under the influence of the Southern Ocean. WA contributes only a tiny amount to Australia’s total wine production but by our reckoning accounts for an unequal share of its premium wine. That said some have dropped the quality baton in the race for bigger volumes and healthier profits so care is needed among some of the better known names.
