The wine region of King Valley
Australian high-altitude valley (155-860 m) in northeastern Victoria: signature Italian grapes unique in Australia - sparkling Prosecco as the national leader (Glera, fresh and fruity, pear, apple, flowers), elegant Sangiovese (cherry, plum, spices), dense Nebbiolo, lively Barbera and fresh Pinot Grigio. Shiraz and Cabernet in support. Racy Chardonnay. GI (2008), planted by the Italian diaspora from 1980, a cool continental altitude climate, alluvium of the King River.
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: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
