Aromatic and elegant whites, rich yet lifted by fine freshness, with hawthorn, honeysuckle, apricot, pear, honey, green tea, mineral and herbal notes. Fine ageing potential. Key variety in the great whites of the northern Rhône (Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray) blended with marsanne, and one of the 13 permitted grapes at Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Native Rhône variety.
Subtropical Australian wine state, high-altitude vineyards (800-1,000 m) on Granite Belt among the country's highest. Shiraz signature in red: structured and fresh with signature notes of blackberry, black cherry, black pepper, eucalyptus, spices and a mineral touch, firm tannins and a tense palate — altitude tempers the heat. Ample Chardonnay, firm Cabernet, supple Merlot. 'Strange Bird' program: floral Fiano, saline Vermentino, spicy Tempranillo, dense Saperavi.
