The wine region of Goulburn Valley
Historic Victorian region home to the world's oldest Marsanne and Shiraz vines (warm inland valley, marked diurnal range, fertile alluvials, lakes and rivers moderating). Shiraz flagship red: rich ripe fruits in youth evolving to dark fruits, pepper, dark chocolate, supple leather and earth, renowned longevity. Marsanne flagship white: floral and citrus notes when young, becoming honeyed and nutty with age.
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: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
