The Barossa Valley, located northeast of Adelaide in South Australia, is one of the world's most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its rich winemaking heritage dating back to the 19th century. Known for its Mediterranean climate and diverse terroirs, the region is home to some of the oldest continuously producing vineyards, particularly famous for its full-bodied Shiraz, alongside Grenache, Mataro (Mourvèdre), and Cabernet Sauvignon.
