The wine region of Frankland River
Most productive sub-region of Great Southern in Western Australia (1,600 ha at 150-300 m): Riesling flagship white — dry and taut with chiseled citrus notes and saline minerality, distinct freshness from northern warm Rieslings. Cabernet Sauvignon reference flagship red — elegant and structured, black fruits and fine tannins. Also peppery Shiraz and lively Chardonnay. Mediterranean climate tempered by the Southern Ocean 80 km away, fresh and mineral identity.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
