    1700年代後半にヨーロッパからの入植者が、オーストラリアに脆弱なブドウの若木を最初に植えて以来、何世代にもわたって開拓者とその子孫たちが、オーストラリア大陸南部の各地にブドウ畑を作り、地下にセラーを掘り、大地の風味を引き出してきました。そして数百年の間、数々の特徴ある美味しいワインを造ってきました。東部ではハンターのきりっとした若々しいセミヨン、西部ではマーガレット・リヴァーの黒スグリの風味が豊かなカベルネ・ソーヴィニヨン、タスマニアの吹きさらしの海岸からは繊細なスパークリングワイン、気温の高い内陸部のラザグレンでは、濃厚な色で蜜のように甘い酒精強化ワインが造られています。

    オーストラリアワインの産地は、広大な「地域」(zone)、厳格に定められた「地区」(region)、そしてしっかりと狙いを定めた「小地区」(subregion)に区分けされた、地理的呼称(Geographical Indications、GI)で構成されています。公式GIの境界線は法で守られ、地区の名前の入ったラベルのワインを買ったら、中身は必ずその地区で造られたものです。この地図では、ワイン産地として既に確立されている場所に加え、現在正式に登録されていないものの、頭角を現しつつある新たなブドウ栽培地も示しました。

  • We had a good run with The NPR Map but it eventually became too hard to update, reprint, and distribute the map without being physically present in the United States. Thank you to everyone at NPR who helped ensure the map was always up-to-date, who spoke highly of the map, and who helped distribute it through the NPR Shop; thank you Joe, Barbara, Dana and Karyn. Thanks to Martin G, Jonathan, and Dale who performed press checks on behalf of vW Maps. Many thanks to Martin of Bob’s Your Uncle who made the map presentable with a great cover and to Courtney and Michele who made the publication and distribution of the map in the last years possible. Thanks to the FCC for its great database that made the map possible. And of course thank you to everyone who bought, folded, wrote on, framed, or gave away one of the almost 100,000 maps we printed in over a dozen editions!

    Three covers for The NPR Map.
