Margaret River, in Western Australia, has a maritime climate often compared to Bordeaux in dry years, giving it unusually even ripening for a warm-climate region. Despite producing only about 2% of Australia's wine grapes, it captures a hugely disproportionate share of the premium market, split roughly 40% red to 60% white, led by Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blends.
