New World Wines - A Proven History
The best of the New World wines have been attracting accolades and strong prices for two decades or more.
It was in the late 1980s that saw an increase in interest from international collectors and investors. There was an explosion of interest not just within Australia but from the US and all around the Pacific Rim.
One of the greatest of the original Australian fine wines is the iconic Penfolds Grange, but the list of labels has extended to include wines from Wild Duck Creek, Mount Mary, Henschke, James Irvine, Clarendon Hills, Rockford, Cullen and many more.
Innovation, experimentation and a sense of adventure have resulted in New World wine-making expertise being sought by emerging producers all over the world.
Ironically, even the more traditional areas of European winemaking, including France, Italy, Portugal and Spain, have turned to the New World winemakers for inspiration.
