The wine region of Shoalhaven Coast
GI of New South Wales on the South Pacific coast (from Kiama to Durras, varied soils, strong oceanic influence, cooling breezes preserving acidity, humid summers). Chambourcin and Verdelho are the signature grapes: Chambourcin is a humidity-resistant hybrid producing fruity reds with dark berries; Verdelho delivers fresh whites with tropical notes and bright citrus. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon as fresh whites; Sangiovese, Viognier, Tannat and Tempranillo emerging.
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
