A freshness-adding profile in warm Rhône blends. Traditional component of Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC (one of the 13 authorised varieties) and the Côtes-du-Rhône AOC. Rare French indigenous variety from the southern Rhône Valley.

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: Bordeaux barrel

Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
