Did you know?
- There are laws to ensure that all wine producers use Australia’s ‘Geographical Indication’ (GI) system to clearly display the region the grapes for wine are produced in.
- The GI system has been important in research, regulation, label integrity and in developing an understanding of the unique characteristics of each region’s climate and, most importantly, its grape varieties.
- Australia’s GI system comprises 28 zones, 65 regions and 14 sub-regions.
