The wine region of Mornington Peninsula
Australian cool-climate star (peninsula south of Melbourne): signature Pinot Noir as king red (50%) — fine and fragrant with notes of cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and a spicy touch, silky tannins and taut acidity shaped by the sea (<7 km). Racy mineral Chardonnay with notes of citrus, white peach, flowers and a saline finish, exceptional natural acidity. Varied soils (sand, alluvium, volcanic terra rossa of Red Hill). Influence of Bass Strait and Port Phillip.
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: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
