The wine region of Southern New South Wales
Southern New South Wales zone (Canberra District, Gundagai, Hilltops, Tumbarumba), high-altitude vineyards (~500 m), warm days and cool nights. Signature Shiraz: elegant and spiced with blackberry, black cherry, pepper, violet and herbaceous hints, fine tannins and refined fruit — an airy alternative to sunny Shiraz. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon and silky Pinot Noir as complements. Tense Riesling, Chardonnay (fine sparkling at Tumbarumba) and Viognier in whites.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Oxidative (breeding)
A method of ageing which aims to give the wine certain aromas of evolution (dried fruit, bitter orange, coffee, rancio, etc.) by exposing it to the air; it is then matured either in barrels, demi-muids or unoaked casks, sometimes stored in the open air, or in barrels exposed to the sun and to temperature variations. This type of maturation characterizes certain natural sweet wines, ports and other liqueur wines.
