Buy International & Mediterranean Wine Online Australia

The world's most interesting wine isn't always from France or Australia. Greece has been making wine for 4,000 years — longer than almost any other wine culture on earth. Turkey's Anatolia is one of the world's oldest viticultural regions, home to indigenous grape varieties that produce wines of extraordinary character you won't find on any mainstream bottle shop shelf. Lebanon's Bekaa Valley produces reds of genuine world-class quality. And the islands of the Aegean turn out crisp, mineral whites that sommeliers in London and New York are only just discovering. At The Liquory, we curate the international wine range that Australian bottle shops have always been too cautious to stock — genuine varietals from the cultures that invented winemaking, delivered anywhere in Australia. Free shipping on orders over $300.

When we talk about international wine at The Liquory, we mean wines made from indigenous grape varieties that are intrinsic to their culture — not international varietals planted elsewhere for export markets, but the grapes that local people actually drink with their food, at their tables and on their holidays.

In Greece, Assyrtiko from Santorini is an absolute must-try — a white grape grown on volcanic soils that produces wines of searing acidity, mineral complexity, and exceptional longevity. If you're looking for a red you can't go past Xinomavro from Naoussa in northern Greece — called the "Barolo of Greece" for its tannic structure and ageing potential. Mavrodaphne is a luscious fortified dessert wine of Patras, made from sun-dried grapes in a style unchanged for centuries.

In Turkey, Bogazkere and Öküzgözü are unique indigenous red varieties from the volcanic highlands of eastern Anatolia. Producing deeply coloured, tannic, spice-driven reds of real quality. Narince whites are coveted for their honeyed, aromatic character. And rosés from the Thrace region rival the best from Provence.

In Lebanon, they feature the storied output of Bekaa Valley estates producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and blends of both under conditions of genuine terroir — high altitude, extreme temperature variation, and ancient soils that have grown wine grapes for millennia.

None of these wines are easy to find in Australia. That's exactly why we stock them. Our range is deliberately curated away from the familiar and towards the genuinely interesting — wines that tell a story, wines that make dinner more memorable, wines that you'll be talking about when the bottle is empty.
