Alternative varieties make up around 3 per cent of Australia’s vineyard area – a small but exciting percentage. Without laws restricting what can be planted and where, Australia has become a hotbed of innovation and experimentation.

From Tempranillo in McLaren Vale to Roussanne in Barossa, find out why alternative varieties are a growing movement in the Australian wine scene.

Get to know what’s ‘alternative’ and which varieties are thriving in Australia, and discover pioneering wineries pushing boundaries and creating new styles.
