Australia's wine heritage is about 200 years old and is one of the few countries in the world to produce every major wine style. There are no grape varieties native to Australia, grapes were imported from Europe and most of the wine produced was sent to England and India. The first known records of grape production dates from 1791. From 1860 onwards, many of Europe's vineyards were decimated from disease, leaving Australia with some of the oldest vineyards in the world.

Wyndham Estate, New South Wales

Wyndham Estate came into being as Dalwood Wines in 1828, when George Wyndham, an English immigrant planted 600 vine cuttings given to him by British botanist James Busby. George Wyndham was the first in Australia to plant commercial shiraz vines in 1830. The first vintage was released in 1835 and by the mid 1800s the estate was exporting to the United Kingdom and India. George Wyndham was of the pioneers of the Australian wine industry, winning many awards in international expositions. Dalwood Wines was renames Wyndham Estate in 1970 to commemorate the achievements of the original owner and continues to produce some excellent vintages.

Wyndham Estate is quite the tourist magnet. Situated on the banks of the Hunter River in Dalwood, New South Wales, the oldest cellar doors in Australia still open everyday to the public. Today, Wyndham Estate is known for its excellent pairing of food and wine and the cafe (open during weekends) produces excellent fare to complement the wines of the estate.
