Western Australia is the largest State in Australia and the winemaking regions are almost entirely concentrated in the south-west and great southern land divisions of the State. These regions produce a diverse range of regionally distinct wines, from evocative Shiraz to unique Cabernet Sauvignon blends and an exceptional variety of white wines.

Pioneers in the development of wines in Western Australia include the legendary Jack Mann at Houghton in the 1930s and 1940s and John Kosovich at John Kosovich Wines in the 1960s and 1970s. These legends were followed by scientists like Dr. John Gladstones who identified a variety of regions suitable for the development of vineyards and wineries. These regions have overcome the State’s geographic isolation and carved their mark around the world.
