Big Rivers is a GI (Geographical Indication) created in 1996 which refers to several Australian wine regions in western NewSouthWales and northwestern Victoria. The entire southwestern quarter of New South Wales is covered by the zone, whose name is a reference to the famous Murray and Darling rivers and the lesser-known Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Rivers (the latter means Big Water in the local Aboriginal language). Big Rivers measures 650 kilometers (400 miles) across, and produces around 75 percent of New South Wales' wine, and is one of Australia's most prolific wine-producing areas.

This vast, almost perfectly square area covers 4000 square miles (10,360 square km) of central-southern New South Wales. It is a reliable source of many millions of hectoliters of wine every Vintage, most of which is from high-yielding vines and is destined for sale in bulk. At the centre of Riverina is the well-known wine production town of Griffith.
The second-largest region is Murray Darling, which stretches from the Victorian border with South Australia in the west, to Balranald in NSW in the east.

The camaralet of Lasseube has its origins in the Pyrenees, in Bearn. It can be called gentil aromatique, petit camarau or moustardet. Its bunches are of medium size but its berries are small. The berries turn golden yellow when they reach maturity. This grape variety has two approved clones since 1998: 1023 and 1024. It occupies a little less than one hectare in France and is often vinified with other grape varieties such as lauzet and gros manseng. Camaralet de Lasseube is matured about twenty days after Chasselas. Its more or less compact and winged bunches are not affected by grey rot until after maturity. Its female flowers often expose this grape variety to significant risks of coulure, which makes it possible to obtain an alcoholic wine that is full-bodied but fine. Depending on the type, the aromas of the camaralet de Lasseube may recall fennel, pepper or cinnamon.
