The wine region of Canberra District
High-altitude Australian region (500-900 m, NSW) with continental climate: signature Shiraz as king red — medium-bodied, spicy and peppery with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, liquorice and a floral touch (often co-fermented with Viognier, Côte-Rôtie style), fine tannins and signature elegance. Dry Riesling as white king — vibrant and chiselled with citrus, green apple, white flowers and a mineral tension. Cabernet and Chardonnay as backup. GI, hot days and cold nights.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Vent (taste of)
A defect that characterizes a wine exposed to the air, and which has lost its aromatic qualities.
