Our antipodean correspondent, Simone Madden-Grey joins the podcast again (man, scheduling over the last few years has been hard!)! \\xa0She gets us up to speed on one of the exciting trends in Australian wine right now: alternative varieties (like Fiano, Vermentino, Tempranillo, and more!)

\\xa0

We define alternative varieties, discuss the impetus for this movement, and the proof points for the movement being more than a fad. \\xa0We discuss the importance of the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show.

We cover:

• Current forces challenging Australian wine in general \\u2013 China, difficulties in the US market, and some challenges with alternative varieties with Italy, specifically

\\xa0

• Key regions (GIs \\u2013 geographical indications) that are making great alternative varieties \\u2013 Riverland, Murray-Darling, and Beechworth, among others.
