The wine region of Great Southern
Australia's largest wine region on the south-western coast (200 km wide): Riesling signature king white — dry and taut with notes of citrus, lime, fresh herbs, chiselled minerality and long finish, signature 10-20 year ageing. Emblematic Shiraz king red — medium-bodied with signature notes of liquorice, spice, black pepper, black cherry and plum, Northern Rhône style. Cabernet and Chardonnay also successful. 5 sub-regions (Albany, Mount Barker, Frankland, Porongurup, Denmark).
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: 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.
