The wine region of Macedon Ranges
Coolest region of the Australian continent (Victoria, 300-800 m, ~1 hour north of Melbourne): signature Pinot Noir as ruling red — fresh, vibrant and elegant with signature cherry, raspberry, delicate spice and naturally preserved acidity, finesse compared to Burgundy. Racy Chardonnay as ruling white — chiselled fine lines with citrus, stone fruits and minerality. Premium sparkling in blend. GI 1997, ~64 wineries, cool marginal climate.
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
