What is Vinodiversity?

Vinodiversity is the only website solely about Australian wines made from alternative grape varieties. There are over a hundred of these varieties described on this site.

In its short history of just over 200 years the Australian wine industry has undergone a bewildering number of changes. There have been booms and busts, pestilence, taxes, economic crises and rapid changes in consumer tastes.

It's always been changing, but never so rapidly as it is today.

About darby, The author of this site

I have been enjoying the diversity of Australian wines for many decades.  Almost without realising it I steadily moved away from the main traditional varieties to explore something different.

In 2004 I started this site to share my passion.
