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.

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: Malolactic fermentation

Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
