The Commonwealth Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade recognise the importance of the Barossa region by specifically referring to it on their website (http://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/wine.html) when. providing an overview of the importance of the wine sector in Australia: ' Wine grape growing and winemaking are carried out in each of the six states and two mainland territories of Australia. The principal production areas are located in the south-east quarter of the Australian continent, in the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Wineries in South Australia's Barossa Valley, in the Hunter River region north of Sydney in New South Wales and in Victoria played a major role in the development of the industry and continue to be important sources of fine wines. In South Australia, wine contributes around 11% of the state's Gross State product, contributing around $2.4 billion to the state's economy. In 2009/10, the Barossa region contributed $85 million {20%) in production value to the state's total wine value. To add further to its 'credentials', the Barossa has recently been acknowledged by an international wine magazine as one of the 5 most recognised wine regions in the world, and this is supported by the busiest Visitor Information Centre in regional South Australia.
