The wine region of Southern Fieurieu
South Australian GI on the Fleurieu Peninsula and Mount Lofty Ranges (AGI 2001, 510 ha). Maritime climate moderated by the Southern Ocean and Gulf St Vincent, constant southerly breezes, loamy-sandy to clay soils over limestone and buckshot gravel. Shiraz (25%) leads with juicy dark fruits, fine spice and freshness. Chardonnay (18%) crisp and mineral, Cabernet Sauvignon (15%) structured, Sauvignon Blanc (14%) bright and aromatic.
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: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
