In 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip arrived in Sydney Cove, Australia's first major vineyard from Brazil and the Cape of Good Hope. This project gave birth to the wine industry has taken off in a fraction of time in 200 years and exporting more than 800 million liters of wine in the world.
Overview - Australia's Origins

The first vines were planted in Sydney, and unfortunately, due to the heat and humidity of the site of Farm Cove, the vineyard has never prospered. John MacArthur on his property at Camden Park 50 km southwest of Sydney, is widely recognized as having operated the first commercial vineyard and the first winery in Australia in the early 1800s. The main varieties cultivated were pinot gris, Frontignac, Gouais, Verdelho and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Commercial vineyards for wine production were well established in most states since 1850. The former Australian soils, protected by their remoteness from the ravages of industrialization and disease, proved fertile. Slight undulation of land in the Hunter Valley, with steep slopes, windswept valley of Eden, to the maritime slopes of Geelong, the first winemakers have adopted the vagaries of the vast Australian landscape.

In 1854 was officially registered the first export of wine to the United Kingdom: 1384 gallons (6291 liters).

In the mid-1800s, the phylloxera decimated more than two-thirds of the vineyards in Europe, and Australia fell victim in 1875. Strict quarantine rules, limiting the movement of vine material between Australian regions, allowed the wine regions of South Australia, as the Barossa Valley, to be spared the phylloxera, and so today can claim to have the oldest vines in the world who continue to push through the rhizomes of European origin!

Industry Development

Wine consumption in the country has increased considerably during the Second World War. The critical shortage of beer thirsty armies pushed the U.S. and Australia to search for other beverages and, until the 1960s, about 80% of Australian wine was sweet, because mutated with sherry and port, and it was then known in the United Kingdom as "colonial wine. With the tastes of the time, it has slowly moved away from the fortified wine, under the influence of immigrants in the post-World War II who came from Europe. They have brought their culture of appreciation of gastronomy accompanied by table wine in restaurants and at home.

Interestingly, in 1925, the legendary Maurice O'Shea has quietly emerged as the champion of table wine at his vineyard in Mount Pleasant in the Hunter Valley. Past master of blended wines, O'Shea finely designed Wine table without precedent in Australia at the time. Twenty-six years later, the pioneer winemakers Penfold, Max Schubert, has designed his first vintage of Grange symbolic dry red wine to become the best known wine in Australia.

By the mid-1970s, fueled by consumers claiming red table wine, dry, sales of fortified wines were finally eclipsed. In 1980, the annual consumption of wine per capita in the country reached 17.3 liters, while the package "Bag-in-Box" (case-addition) has been upgraded, and that the liberalization of laws on Liquor Licensing has spawned a profusion of outlets selling alcohol.
The situation was never as favorable to consumers, and the national taste has swung firmly in favor of white wine.

Export success

The volume of Australian wine exports for fiscal year 1981-1982 was just over 8 million liters, worth nearly 14 million Australian dollars. Canada was the leading export market for Australian wine, followed by New Zealand. About 170 Australian wineries were using almost 500 000 tonnes of grapes for wine production and just over 60 000 hectares of vines.

Six years later, the volume of exports for fiscal year 1987-1988 rose to 39 million liters, worth 97 million Australian dollars, and Sweden and the United Kingdom have usurped the first and second positions in our major export markets.

Today, with only 4% of total world wine production, Australia is the fourth largest exporter by volume, behind the traditional wine producers such as Italy, France and Spain. In the fiscal year ended in July 2007, wine exports from Australia have reached record levels in value ($ 3 billion Australian dollars) and volume (805 million liters), and culture of the vine has exceeded 160 000 hectares, with over 2,100 producers using more than 1.3 million tons of grapes for wine production.
Current Situation

Today, Australia has an enviable restaurant culture where internationally recognized wines can be enjoyed with friends with an exciting cuisine is constantly evolving. With more than 60 recognized wine regions, the variety of grapes and wines that result from it is put forward in the world. It enhances the credibility of the offer of Australian wines renowned for their quality at all price levels.

Australian winemakers have a very wide range of soils, some of whom are older than 500 million years, which gives them the luxury to plant each variety in an environment that ensures that it grows well. Whether well-drained soil, strewn with iron ore, ideal for the demanding pinot noir, or the famous terra rossa, the beloved of cabernet sauvignon, the planting of vines have been carefully made, the fruits are harvested quality Outstanding.

In the homeland of many institutions world-renowned research and teaching, the new generation of winemakers and grape growers in Australia has the technical expertise necessary to promote the expression of unbridled creative spirit in a global marketplace.
A relevant example - Robert Hill Smith, General Manager - Yalumba, Barossa Valley, South Australia

"There are nearly 160 years, from humble beginnings on 30 acres of land in the Barossa Valley in South Australia, named the winery Yalumba, an aboriginal word meaning" all lands around, "has grown in size and stature, embodying all that has been the success story of Australian wines.

Although the founder Samuel Smith was English, the first major influence of winemakers in the Barossa Valley is attributed to German immigrants who settled in the area after fleeing religious persecution in Silesia and other parts of northern Europe. Scattered among the Lutheran churches and villages, their descendants are working tirelessly in the vineyards established by their ancestors to produce premium grapes. Some of these vines are over 100 years and are among the oldest in the world.

The history of Yalumba reflects to a large extent, the history of the wine industry in Australia. During the years when Australia was known mainly for its fortified wines, Yalumba has developed an enviable reputation for its "ports" and "sherry" for quality. But the true nature of the evolution of winemaking is really emerged in the early 1980 alone, at a time when the international world of wine was on the verge of dynamic change that has seen Australia emerge as a powerful force revolutionizing attitudes towards food and the production of sparkling wines.

We dream of leading the family business in the market for fine wines handcrafted to produce some of the best varietal wines and assembly of the country. A vision that includes the establishment of Estate Vineyards on quality sites of the Eden Valley, Coonawarra and the Barossa Valley, and recently the new Wrattonbully region, was accompanied by a significant modernization of the winery it itself.

In addition to putting in place systems for environmental management that complement the production of varietal wines of high quality adapted to the changing tastes of global consumers, Yalumba also saw the real value "brands."

We have 160 years ago, we are dynamic and we look confidently into the future. "
