The wine region of Wine of Australia
Southern Hemisphere wine country, 6th largest producer worldwide (~146,000 ha, 60+ regions). Signature Shiraz (39%): powerful, sun-drenched reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied plum, black pepper, chocolate, eucalyptus and sweet spice, round tannins and generous mouth — Barossa is the flagship. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon (Coonawarra, Margaret River) cassis-eucalyptus, ample Chardonnay (Yarra). Also taut Riesling (Clare, Eden), fine Pinot Noir (Tasmania).
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
