Australia - Victoria Wine
The wine scene in Victoria reflects the excitement and dynamism that can be found in the state capital of Melbourne. The mix of higher elevations and of maritime influences makes this part of the world perfect for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and producers like Mac Forbes in the Yarra Valley, Yabby Lake in Mornington Peninsular, and ByFarr in Geelong are creating wines that prove it. Demonstrating the best of the grape varieties but with a real sense of place, Victoria’s wines are worth watching.
