The wine region of Big Rivers

Big Rivers is a GI (Geographical Indication) created in 1996 which refers to several Australian wine regions in western NewSouthWales and northwestern Victoria. The entire southwestern quarter of New South Wales is covered by the zone, whose name is a reference to the famous Murray and Darling rivers and the lesser-known Lachlan and Murrumbidgee Rivers (the latter means Big Water in the local Aboriginal language). Big Rivers measures 650 kilometers (400 miles) across, and produces around 75 percent of New South Wales' wine, and is one of Australia's most prolific wine-producing areas. Riverina is the largest of Big Rivers' four wine regions.


The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud

The NewSouthWales wine appellation is made up of 16 different regions and covers approximately 810,000 square kilometres (312,000 square miles). This is the Size of the state of New South Wales, one of the six that make up the federal Commonwealth of Australia. Although it is one of the smallest Australian states geographically, it has been the most populous since the first European settlements in the 18th century. The South East Australia GI area is the largest in Australia and can include any wine produced in New South Wales as well as Victoria, Tasmania and Parts of South Australia.

The word of the wine: Oenologist

Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
