Australian reference for racy high-altitude Riesling (Mid North, 142 km north of Adelaide): the white king, austere when young — dry and mineral with notes of lime, orange blossom, crisp apple and a flint touch, taut acidity and exceptional ageing (5-7 years to decades). Signature Shiraz in reds (35%), powerful with notes of blackberry, plum, spices and a minty touch. Firm Cabernet as support. Cool climate, red-brown soils.
Rich, structured whites with a golden robe, full palate and moderate acidity. Aromas of yellow fruits (peach, apricot), honey, white flowers, beeswax, brioche and white truffle with age. Exceptional aptitude for noble rot. Star of Sauternes AOC and Barsac AOC, pillar of dry whites in Graves and Pessac-Léognan AOC, and of long-lived dry whites in Hunter Valley (Australia). Native Bordeaux variety.
