Racy mineral Chardonnay (citrus, white peach, hazelnut butter, like Burgundy). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon in signature blend. Mediterranean climate tempered by two oceans, red laterites and limestone.
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: De-vatting
Separation of the fermented juice from all solid particles (skin, pips, deposit of lees) by transferring it to a second tank.
