Australian Red Wines
Australia has been producing world-class red wines for decades, yet it still manages to surprise us with its quality and value. Our collection of Australian red wines showcases exactly why this country has earned such respect in the wine world - powerful, fruit-driven Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, elegant cool-climate Pinot Noir, structured Cabernet Sauvignon, and even Italian varieties like Sangiovese that thrive under the Australian sun. What excites us most is the sheer exuberance and generosity of these wines. There's a confidence to Australian winemaking, a willingness to let the fruit shine whilst maintaining balance and drinkability. We've personally tasted every bottle in this collection, selecting producers who offer genuine quality at prices that often make European equivalents look rather expensive.
Why Our Australian Red Wine Collection Is Special
Our Australian red wine range brings together both established names and exciting boutique producers. Dandelion Vineyards' Lionheart of the Barossa Shiraz, for instance, is everything we love about Australian winemaking - powerful yet balanced, richly fruited yet elegant, serious yet approachable. The Corryton Burge The Brigadier Cabernet Sauvignon showcases how Australia can produce structured, age-worthy wines that rival Bordeaux. And producers like Ad Hoc demonstrate the innovative spirit that keeps Australian wine exciting, with their Middle of Everywhere Shiraz offering exceptional quality at genuinely accessible prices. Many of these bottles are exclusive to Givino in the UK, which means you're discovering Australian red wine brands that aren't readily available elsewhere.
What particularly impresses us is the consistency of quality across different price points. Whether you're reaching for the everyday drinking pleasure of the Growers Touch range or investing in something more serious like the Sons of Eden Kennedy GSM blend, you're getting wines that deliver on their promise. Australian winemakers have mastered the art of making wines that are both immediately enjoyable and genuinely interesting.
Exploring the Diversity of Red Wines Australia
Whilst Shiraz is undoubtedly the star of red wines Australia, the diversity within our collection might surprise you. The Barossa Valley delivers the powerful, concentrated styles many people associate with Australian Shiraz - think dark fruit, chocolate, spice, and warming alcohol. But cooler regions produce something quite different. The Ad Hoc Cruel Mistress Pinot Noir shows that Australia can do elegance and finesse brilliantly. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives here too, producing structured wines with firm tannins and excellent ageing potential. And we're particularly excited to stock Italian varieties like the Hedonist Sangiovese and the Silent Noise Uva di Troia, proving Australian winemakers aren't afraid to experiment.
Our collection of red wine Australian styles includes:
- Classic Barossa Shiraz - powerful, richly fruited, with chocolate and spice complexity
- Cool-climate Pinot Noir - elegant, silky, with red berry fruit and savoury notes
- Structured Cabernet Sauvignon - firm tannins, blackcurrant fruit, built for ageing
- Italian varieties and blends - Sangiovese, Uva di Troia, and GSM blends offering something different
Food Pairing With These Australian Wines Red
We love how Australian red wines work with food, particularly barbecued and grilled dishes. A powerful Barossa Shiraz alongside a perfectly cooked ribeye steak is an absolute classic for good reason - the wine's fruit intensity and structure match the richness beautifully. Lighter Pinot Noirs work brilliantly with duck or mushroom dishes. Cabernet Sauvignon pairs wonderfully with lamb, whether roasted with herbs or grilled over charcoal. These are wines that embrace bold flavours rather than shy away from them.
