About South Australia
South Australia makes more than half of all Australian wine. Its range of climates runs from cool-climate Riesling in the Clare Valley to full-bodied Barossa Shiraz. Penfolds Grange, Henschke Hill of Grace, Yalumba and Jacob's Creek all come from the state, as do many mass-market cask wines. Most vineyards depend on irrigation. The first recorded vines were planted in North Adelaide in 1836, and in 1844 Dr Christopher Penfold planted French cuttings at The Grange in Magill. Since the late 1990s the state has been divided into geographical indications. Its Adelaide 'super zone' groups the Barossa, Fleurieu and Mount Lofty Ranges zones.
