Crystalline, taut whites with vibrant acidity and aromas of citrus, green apple, white flowers, vineyard peach and mineral/petrol notes with age. Made as dry (Trocken, Alsace), off-dry (Kabinett, Spätlese) and sweet (Auslese, Beerenauslese, Trockenbeerenauslese, late harvest). Star of the Moselle, Rheingau, Alsace AOC and Wachau. Also exported to Clare Valley and Finger Lakes.
Wine zone encompassing Henty, Grampians, Pyrenees and Ballarat (western Victoria), cool continental highland climate. Shiraz is the signature red grape (>70% in Grampians): elegant and peppery with red and black fruit, cherry, white pepper, eucalyptus and floral notes, fine tannins and preserved acidity — cool-climate northern Rhône style. Birthplace of Sparkling Shiraz (Great Western, 1890). Vibrant Riesling, taut Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at Henty.
