The wine region of Geelong
Cool-climate gem of Victoria on Melbourne's southwest coast: signature Pinot Noir as king red — racy and complex with signature notes of red cherry, beetroot, earth, game, thyme and a smoky touch, finely chiselled tannins and mineral tension (the 'Pinot Coast' with Mornington and Gippsland). Chardonnay, fresh peppery Shiraz and Pinot Gris as complements. GI, 3 subregions (maritime Bellarine Peninsula, Moorabool Valley, Surf Coast), Bass Strait maritime influence, varied soils.
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: Tartar (deposit)
White, chalky deposits that occur as a result of precipitation inside bottles and are often considered by consumers as a defect. They are in fact tartaric salts formed by tartaric acid, potassium and calcium naturally present in the wine. This deposit does not alter the quality of the wine and can be eliminated by a simple decanting.
