Australia's Riverina Shines with Mediterranean Grape Varieties

Riverina isn’t a region that trips off the tongue of many wine lovers. This flat, warm, fertile plain in New South Wales, six hours’ drive west of Sydney, invariably finds its identity overshadowed by the big brands that rely on Riverina fruit. Six of Australia’s largest wine producers are based here, including names like McWilliam’s, De Bortoli and Casella, home of that notorious Yellow Tail kangaroo.
