The wine region of Yarra Valley
Australian showcase of cool climate (Victoria): signature Pinot Noir as king of reds (43%) — fine and fragrant with notes of cherry, strawberry, plum, undergrowth and a spicy touch, silky tannins, possible austere whole-bunch style. Refined Chardonnay (33%), taut and elegant with notes of citrus, white peach, fig and a touch of fine lees, vibrant acidity. Structured Cabernet in lower parts and traditional-method sparkling. East of Melbourne (1838), oceanic influence.
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: Rimage
