A cool region around the national capital, spanning New South Wales and the ACT, known for Riesling and Shiraz-Viognier.

Scientists working in Canberra planted many of the first vineyards in the 1970s, including Clonakilla in 1971 and Lark Hill and Helm soon after. Clonakilla's co-fermented Shiraz-Viognier in the 1990s became one of Australia's most influential wines.
Wines of Canberra District
