Details and technical informations about Winery Bay Of Shoals's Savagnin.
Discover the grape variety: Couderc noir
Simple, fruity reds with a colourful ruby robe, light tannins and unassertive aromas of red and black fruits with herbaceous, foxy notes typical of hybrid grapes. A rustic phylloxera-resistant profile. Now marginal, it survives in a few French parcels and ampelographic collections, a witness to post-phylloxera hybridisation.

The wine region of Kangaroo Island
Island south of Adelaide (maritime climate, summer ~25 C, south-east winds from the Southern Ocean, sandy-clay soils on limestone): Shiraz signature red (~36%) — well-tempered with spiced berries and fine structure. Cabernet Sauvignon (~31%) with cool-climate finesse, notes of cherry, dark berries and spices. Chardonnay (~7%) with preserved freshness. Crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Alcoholic fermentation
Transformation of sugars into alcohol under the effect of yeast. These yeasts exist in their natural state in the vineyards and in the cellars. Artificial seeding with selected yeasts is however very often practiced.
