Shiraz is the signature red: sunny and generous with blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and a liquorice touch, enveloping tannins. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon complements. Ample Chardonnay and lively Semillon in whites (historic botrytised Semillon at Riverina).
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Rafle (taste of)
A taste considered a defect, characterized by an unpleasant astringency and bitterness, brought by the stalk during the vinification process. In order to avoid it, destemming before vinification is a common practice.
