The wine region of Pyrenees
Cool-climate GI of western Victoria (Australia, 2000): signature Shiraz as red king — rich and full-bodied with hallmark notes of blackberry, plum, black cherry, pepper, liquorice, dark chocolate and a violet floral touch, velvety finish. Structured Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, tobacco and earthy-herbal nuances, firm tannins and good ageing. Dominant reds (~73%), dry sunny climate tempered by cool nights, varied soils bordering the eponymous range.
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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
