  1. Adelaide Hills7 producersAdelaide Hills climbs above the plains, using altitude to make sharper Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.
  2. Barossa Valley13 producersBarossa Valley is old-vine Shiraz country, warm and dry enough to make dense, sweet-fruited reds with plush tannin.
  3. Coonawarra2 producersCoonawarra is defined by terra rossa over limestone, a narrow red-soil strip that gives Cabernet its firm, cassis-like structure.
  4. McLaren Vale10 producersMcLaren Vale sits between hills and Gulf St Vincent, so warm Grenache and Shiraz keep a fresher coastal edge.
