Located in the Southeastern corner of the continent, with a generally cool, ocean-influenced Climate, Victorian wine is remarkably diverse, producing all sorts of wines and styles in different climates.

As such, Victoria's size - and to some extent, the state's viticultural history - can defy generalization.
