A BRIEF HISTORY OF AUSTRALIAN WINE...

Vines first arrived in Australia with the First Fleet in 1788

Heat and humidity was a problem were a problem for initial plantings at Sydney Cove although significant vineyards were established near Parramatta in 1805 by Gregory Blaxland and near Camden in 1820 by William Macarthur

James Busby became involved in viticulture around 1825 and in 1831 he went to Europe and collected 650 varieties

362 survived the journey and were planted in the Botanical Gardens in Sydney. A duplicate collection was planted at his Hunter Valley property and subsequent cuttings made their way to various parts of NSW, Victoria and South Australia. Many of Australia’s old vines can trace their history to the original Busby collection

The Hunter Valley was the first commercial region with Wyndham Estate being established in 1828 By the 1840’s viticulture was established by Italians in Riverina, Swiss in Victoria, Dalmatians in Western Australia and Lutheran Germans in South Australia, particularly the Barossa and Clare Valleys.

Commercial viticulture was established in most states by 1850

By 1854 the first wine export to the United Kingdom had been formally recorded - 1,384 gallons (6,291 litres) Phylloxera affected some states in the late 1870’s and a few active pockets remain but many areas in Australia are phylloxera free and have very old, ungrafted vines

There are now over 100 different varieties planted in Australia, the most important of which are Riesling and Shiraz....

One of the greatest red wine vintages in theBarossa Valley. Good spring rains were fol-

lowed by a warm to hot ripening period which continued throughout the vintage. Yields were low and offered exceptional

quality.
