The wine region of Limestone Coast
Cool-climate GI of south-eastern Australia, red terra rossa over white limestone. Coonawarra's signature Cabernet Sauvignon: classic reds with signature notes of pure blackcurrant, eucalyptus, fresh mint, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and long ageing potential — a world benchmark. Also spicy peppery Shiraz, round Merlot. Precise Chardonnay whites (citrus, hazelnut), taut Riesling (lemon, kerosene).
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: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
