The wine region of Hunter Valley
Cradle of Australian viticulture (1825), 160 km north of Sydney. World signature: dry low-alcohol Sémillon (10-11°) with fresh citrus notes in youth, evolving after 10-15 years to candied lemon, toast, honey and beeswax, spectacular ageing. Medium-bodied "Hunter style" Shiraz, supple and earthy (leather, plum, sweet spices), capable of decades. Also Chardonnay and Verdelho.
The wine region of Nouvelle-Galles du Sud
Australia's 2nd wine state with diverse regions. Iconic Hunter Valley: a Sémillon unlike any other, straight, low-alcohol dry whites with vivid citrus when young, evolving over 10-20 years toward honey, toast and lanolin. Medium-bodied Hunter Shiraz, spicy and earthy (leather, red fruits). Also round Chardonnay and aromatic Verdelho.
The word of the wine: Draft liquor (champagne)
After blending, the wine is bottled with a liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and wine) and a yeast (selected yeasts). The yeast attacks the sugar and creates carbon dioxide. The fermentation, which lasts about two months, is prolonged by an ageing period (15 months minimum in total). The bottle is capped (some rare vintages are capped with a staple and a cork).
