Australia Wineries

Early Australian winemakers faced many difficulties, particularly due to the unfamiliar Australian climate. However they eventually achieved
considerable success. "At the 1873 Vienna Exhibition the French judges, tasting blind, praised some wines from Victoria, but withdrew in protest
when the provenance of the wine was revealed, on the grounds that wines of that quality must clearly be French." Australian wines continued to
win high honors in French competitions. A Victorian Syrah (also called Shiraz) competing in the 1878 Paris Exhibition was likened to Château
Margaux and "its taste completed its trinity of perfection." One Australian wine won a gold medal "first class" at the 1882 Bordeaux International
Exhibition and another won a gold medal "against the world" at the 1889 Paris International Exhibition.
