Most people are unaware of the fact that Australia ranks in the top tier when it comes to the production and sale of wine on the international market. This is a rather surprising fact considering that wine making in Australia only started in the 1800's, compared to a number of other countries that had been in the business of wine production way before the first settlers arrived on Australian soil and started the practice. Today, different varieties of  Australian red wine and white wine can be found in major wine outlets the world over.

Australia has no native grapes and as such the red wine that is made in the country comes from   foreign wine grape varieties now grown domestically in Australia. The most popular of all Australian red wines is the Australian Shiraz, many famous wineries in Australia produce this red wine as it was also one of the first kinds made when wine making started in the country. This wine has notes which are spicy as well as fruity, a full body and dark red colour.

The  ever ubiquitous Cabernet Sauvignon is also part of the Australian red wine selection. The grape itself is grown all across Australia and gives rise to wines which range from dark purple to dark red in hue. The taste is rather pronounced but silky at the same time. People who favour this variety of Australian red wine will often remark at the difference in dryness from one bottle to the next, but it all depends on which winery produced the particular bottle and how long the wine was aged before being offered for sale.

The Merlot also finds some major popularity in Australia, it is grown almost all over the country except in regions where the vineyards may be too cold for the grape to flourish. It is often used to blend the Cabernet Sauvignon as well to improve balance but on its own it produces a medium bodied wine. The Australian Foundstone Merlot has spicy and earthy notes as well.

Another red wine is the Australian Pinot Noir, the wine has a light red colour and its grape is less grown compared to more popular red wine grapes.  The wine has a full body and fruity taste despite its lighter red colour. Fans of the Australian Pinot Noir are particularly attracted to the wine because of its pleasant and lasting aftertaste.

Other less popular Australian red wine varieties which a budding connoisseur might encounter in the course of sampling  the Australian selection of such wines are the Grenache and the Mouverde among others.
