The wine region of Mount Barker
Flagship subregion of Great Southern in Western Australia: signature Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon as king varieties — chiseled and taut Riesling with intense citrus and herbaceous notes, 10+ year aging. Cabernet of deep colour and powerful structure, briary austerity when young. Shiraz with signature peppery, spicy style evoking northern Rhône (liquorice, black cherry). Pinot Noir also noted.
The wine region of Australie de l'Ouest
Australian premium on Margaret River. Signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends in red: deep and refined with notes of ripe blackcurrant, eucalyptus, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and great ageing, often compared to Médoc. Chardonnay rated Australia's best: taut, saline and mineral (lemon, hazelnut, brioche). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon (citrus, cut grass).
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
