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: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
