Wine 101Kangaroo IslandfromA newly recognized Australian wine region located on Kangaroo Island (Australia's third–largest) in the Fleurieu Zone of SOUTH AUSTRALIA. It's situated about 70 miles southwest of Adelaide at the mouth of Gulf St. Vincent. The island, which is about 95 miles long and 35 miles wide, understandably has a maritime climate that so far seems suited to CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Shiraz (SYRAH), MERLOT, and CHARDONNAY.
