Wine Regions
Since the 1960s, Australia's labeling laws have used an appellation system that distinguishes the geographic origins of the grape. Under these laws, at least 85% of the grapes must be from the region that is designated on the label. In the late 1990s more definitive boundaries were established that divided Australia up into Geographic Indications known as zones, regions and subregions.
South Australia has added a fourth classification, known as super zones, which include a multiple number of nearby zones. Only the Adelaide region (which includes the Barossa and Fleurieu zones, and the areas around the Mount Lofty Ranges) is designated as a "superzone".
