“Viticulture” is a common feature of which one of the following Australian cities?

Viticulture, the specialized cultivation of grapes for winemaking, is a hallmark of Mediterranean agriculture [2]. This agricultural typology is characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, which are prevalent in the southern and southwestern parts of Australia [2]. Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is the primary hub for this activity, surrounded by world-renowned wine regions such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and the Adelaide Hills. These regions are famous for producing high-quality grapes and distinctive wines like Shiraz and Riesling. While Tasmania (near Hobart) also practices viticulture, Adelaide is more centrally associated with the classic Mediterranean viticultural tradition and large-scale production [2]. In contrast, Darwin's tropical climate and Brisbane's humid subtropical climate are generally less suited for traditional Mediterranean-style viticulture [2].
