Discover the grape variety: Guillemot
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden colour, supple palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. Rustic, discreet profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of French vineyards. Rare French white variety, once grown in western France.

The wine region of Geelong
Cool-climate gem of Victoria on Melbourne's southwest coast: signature Pinot Noir as king red — racy and complex with signature notes of red cherry, beetroot, earth, game, thyme and a smoky touch, finely chiselled tannins and mineral tension (the 'Pinot Coast' with Mornington and Gippsland). Chardonnay, fresh peppery Shiraz and Pinot Gris as complements. GI, 3 subregions (maritime Bellarine Peninsula, Moorabool Valley, Surf Coast), Bass Strait maritime influence, varied soils.
The wine region of Victoria
Australian diversity from cool to temperate climate. Yarra Valley and Mornington: fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth), taut, mineral Chardonnay. Heathcote: structured Shiraz with black fruits, pepper and chocolate. Rutherglen, fortified capital: opulent sweet Topaque and Muscat (raisin, caramel, fig, roast notes).
The word of the wine: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
