The wine region of Langhorne Creek
Discreet Australian region south-east of Adelaide (Fleurieu Peninsula): signature Shiraz and Cabernet as king reds — opulent and velvety with notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, chocolate, eucalyptus and a spice touch, round tannins and signature bright fruit, a long finish. Dense, sunny Malbec, a renowned backup. Fresh Verdelho as white. GI (1998), Bremer alluvial plain between Lake Alexandrina and Mt Lofty, breezes off Gulf Saint Vincent, deep silt-clays.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Cinsault
Cinsault is a southern black grape variety that can be found in the blends of most Mediterranean appellations, but most often as an accessory grape variety. It is undoubtedly most present in certain rosé wines (in Corbières, Côtes-de-Provence, etc.): it gives these wines highly appreciated aromas of strawberry, peach and raspberry. In vin de pays (IGP), it is often vinified on its own, usually as a rosé.
