Collection: Red Wine | Australia & International

Red wine is the broadest and most diverse category in the Wine Sellers Direct range, spanning Australia’s most important wine regions and a selection of distinguished international producers. From powerful Barossa Shiraz and elegant Tasmanian Pinot Noir to Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and cool-climate Grampians Syrah, the range covers the full spectrum of Australian red wine styles alongside French, Italian and Spanish selections.

Australian Red Wine

Australia produces red wine across a wide range of climates, soils and styles. The Barossa Valley is the country’s benchmark for Shiraz, producing wines of power, depth and longevity. Heathcote’s ancient Cambrian soil produces Shiraz of distinctive mineral character. Coonawarra’s terra rossa is Australia’s most recognised Cabernet Sauvignon terroir. Cooler regions including Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley and Tasmania produce Pinot Noir of elegance and restraint. King Valley has established itself as the home of Italian varieties in Australia, with Sangiovese, Barbera and Nebbiolo all well represented.

Signature Varieties

Shiraz is Australia’s most widely planted red variety and one of the defining grapes of Australian wine, ranging from the full-bodied and spiced styles of the Barossa to the peppery, cool-climate expressions of the Grampians and Frankland River. Cabernet Sauvignon is the benchmark variety of Coonawarra and Margaret River. Pinot Noir thrives in Tasmania, Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley. GSM blends — Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre — are a growing strength of the Barossa and McLaren Vale.

International Red Wine

The international selection includes wines from France’s Rhône Valley and Italy, complementing the Australian range with Old World structure and regional character.
