Native Portuguese variety, long underrated and now rehabilitated.

The wine region of McLaren Vale

South Australian showcase of Mediterranean Shiraz: king red (~60% of the vineyard) powerful and silky with notes of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, eucalyptus and a touch of sweet spice, velvety tannins and vibrant fruit. Renowned old-vine Grenache (cherry, garrigue, pepper), firm Cabernet Sauvignon and dense Mourvèdre as complement. Fresh Chardonnay and Vermentino in whites. Region 38 km south of Adelaide, Mediterranean climate, among the most geo-diverse soils in the world.


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: Density per hectare

Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
