The wine region of Upper Goulburn
Victorian GI in the north-east (GI 2003, 500–700 m on the Great Dividing Range, drained poor granitic soils, high-altitude continental climate with hot summers and large diurnal temperature ranges): Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are signature king altitude whites — textured and crunchy with intense aromas preserved by cold nights, magnified taut acidity. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as generous reds on warmer sites. Cool-climate terroir.
The wine region of Victoria
Australian diversity from cool to temperate climate. Yarra Valley and Mornington: fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry, undergrowth), taut, mineral Chardonnay. Heathcote: structured Shiraz with black fruits, pepper and chocolate. Rutherglen, fortified capital: opulent sweet Topaque and Muscat (raisin, caramel, fig, roast notes).
The word of the wine: Oxidation
Alteration of the wine caused by prolonged contact with oxygen and resulting in a coppery colour with brown reflections and the appearance of typical aromas reminiscent of rancid nuts.
