The wine region of Mornington Peninsula
Australian cool-climate star (peninsula south of Melbourne): signature Pinot Noir as king red (50%) — fine and fragrant with notes of cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, undergrowth and a spicy touch, silky tannins and taut acidity shaped by the sea (<7 km). Racy mineral Chardonnay with notes of citrus, white peach, flowers and a saline finish, exceptional natural acidity. Varied soils (sand, alluvium, volcanic terra rossa of Red Hill). Influence of Bass Strait and Port Phillip.
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: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
