Victorian wine is
wine made in the
Australian state of
Victoria. With over 600 wineries, Victoria has more wine producers than any other
Australian wine-producing state but ranks third in overall wine production due to the lack of a mass bulk wine-producing area like
South Australia's Riverland and
New South Wales's
Riverina.
Viticulture has existed in Victoria since the 19th century and experienced a high point in the 1890s when the region produced more than half of all wine produced in Australia. The
phylloxera epidemic that soon followed took a hard toll on the Victoria wine industry which did not fully recover till the 1950s.
