The wine region of Coonawarra
Australian icon of Cabernet Sauvignon on the legendary terra rossa (Limestone Coast, south-east): signature king red — elegant and structured with notes of bright blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, pencil shavings and a minty touch, vibrant acidity and chiselled tannins, great ageing. Tasty Shiraz and supple Merlot complete it. A narrow strip (12 km × 1 km) of rust-red loam over active limestone, Antarctic coolness and ocean upwelling, moderate alcohols and exceptional freshness.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Ban des vendanges
