Discover the grape variety: Couston
Light and simply fruity reds with a pale ruby colour, silky tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, featuring undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Almost extinct in commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and is among the heritage grape varieties under study. Rare French black grape, once grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Pemberton
Cool-climate GI of southwest Western Australia (15 miles from the south coast): signature Chardonnay as white king (~23%) — refined and opulent with signature notes of citrus, melon, white flowers, vanilla and a creamy touch, elegance and ample texture in French oak ageing. Vibrant Pinot Noir as red (~6%) — varietal intensity with cherry, raspberry and spice notes on unirrigated gravelly loams, Burgundian terroir. Shiraz and Cabernet complement.
The wine region of Australie de l'Ouest
Australian premium on Margaret River. Signature Bordeaux Cabernet-Merlot blends in red: deep and refined with notes of ripe blackcurrant, eucalyptus, cedar and graphite, firm tannins and great ageing, often compared to Médoc. Chardonnay rated Australia's best: taut, saline and mineral (lemon, hazelnut, brioche). Lively Sauvignon-Sémillon (citrus, cut grass).
