Powerful, deeply coloured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and dense palate. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper, chocolate, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Near-extinct in France, it became a star as Petite Sirah in California (Napa, Lodi, Paso Robles) and is emblematic of Rutherglen, Australia. French variety created in 1880 by François Durif in the Isère (spontaneous cross of Syrah × Peloursin).

The wine region of Riverina
Vast hot region of southwest New South Wales (Australia): Botrytis Sémillon signature as king sweet white — opulent with signature notes of honey, candied apricot, mango, quince, orange marmalade, saffron and a wax touch (Sauternes style, De Bortoli's iconic Noble One, 1982). Shiraz, Cabernet, Merlot and Durif as sunny reds. Chardonnay, Verdelho, Gewurztraminer, Moscato as gourmand whites. GI, flat plains and hot Mediterranean climate, irrigation.
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: Bitter (flavor)
A flavour generally provided in wines by polyphenols and accompanied by a sensation of pungency. In small quantities, bitterness makes you salivate, gives relief to the wine and reinforces its sapidity.
