Discover the grape variety: Sylvaner
Lively, understated whites with a tender palate and fresh acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, hay and typical mineral notes. Light and refreshing finish. Made as easy dry whites and more structured lees-aged cuvées. Star of Alsace AOC (one of the historic varieties), absolute signature of German Franconia (Silvaner on shell-limestone soils) and present in Austria and Switzerland. Central European variety of Austrian origin.

The wine region of Big Rivers
Irrigated zone of south-western New South Wales (Murray Darling, Perricoota, Riverina, Swan Hill, ~75% of state wine), hot dry continental climate irrigated by Murray, Darling and Murrumbidgee rivers. Shiraz is the signature red: sunny and generous with blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and a liquorice touch, enveloping tannins. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon complements. Ample Chardonnay and lively Semillon in whites (historic botrytised Semillon at Riverina).
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: Broker
In the past, he was a sort of fraud control agent who had to watch over the quality of merchant wines (he could carry a sword!). His function has evolved towards expertise (it was the brokers who established the famous 1855 classification in Bordeaux) and today he puts the producer in contact with the merchant.
