Australian high-altitude valley (155-860 m) in northeastern Victoria: signature Italian grapes unique in Australia - sparkling Prosecco as the national leader (Glera, fresh and fruity, pear, apple, flowers), elegant Sangiovese (cherry, plum, spices), dense Nebbiolo, lively Barbera and fresh Pinot Grigio. Shiraz and Cabernet in support. Racy Chardonnay. GI (2008), planted by the Italian diaspora from 1980, a cool continental altitude climate, alluvium of the King River.
Deeply coloured, powerful reds with inky robe (teinturier grape with red flesh) and tight tannins, with intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black plum, spices, leather and balsamic notes. High acidity and fine ageing potential. Often made by the ancestral qvevri method (buried clay jar), it signs the great Georgian reds of Kakheti (Mukuzani, Kvareli, Napareuli). Also in Russia, Ukraine and Australia. Ancient Georgian variety.
