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: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
