The wine region of Porongurup
Eastern sub-region of the Great Southern (Western Australia) on the isolated granite massif of the Porongurup Range: Riesling is the signature grape with chiselled citrus and granitic minerality; cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are highly sought after. Ancient, deep karri loam soils degraded from granite, exceptional drainage. Mediterranean climate with mild winters and warm summers tempered by altitude — Riesling won Halliday Wine of the Year 2019.
The wine region of Australie de l'Ouest
Australian premium on Margaret River. Signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends in red: deep and refined with notes of ripe blackcurrant, eucalyptus, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and great ageing, often compared to Médoc. Chardonnay rated Australia's best: taut, saline and mineral (lemon, hazelnut, brioche). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon (citrus, cut grass).
The word of the wine: Ugni blanc
White grape variety of Italian origin, and the main white variety grown in France. Its large bunches give fine, light and lively wines, suitable for distillation: today it is the main variety for making cognac and armagnac. Ugni blanc, which is a little richer in alcohol when grown in Mediterranean regions, is used in the blending of the Provence and Corsica appellations, often in association with other grape varieties that bring aromas and structure, such as clairette, grenache blanc or sauvignon. Ugni blanc is also used, on a secondary basis, in the production of certain white wines in Gironde (AOC Bordeaux, Entre-deux-Mers, etc.).
