Victoria has more distinct wine regions packed into it than any other Australian state, ranging from the cool, maritime Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley to the warm inland plains of Rutherglen, famous for fortified Muscat, and the high-altitude granite country of the King and Alpine Valleys. That range makes "Victoria" as a broad regional label cover an unusually wide stylistic spread, from delicate sparkling wine to powerful fortified reds.

Key grapes: Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Muscat
