The wine region of Mount Benson
Sub-region of Limestone Coast north of Robe (South Australia), cooled by the Southern Ocean (~3°C cooler than Coonawarra), terra rossa clay-loam over draining limestone. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz reign (75% of plantings): elegant profile of rich dark fruits, cherry, black pepper and spices, fine persistent tannins, proven cellaring potential. Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio for fresh whites; Merlot and Petit Verdot for Bordeaux blends.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
