Discover the grape variety: Glacière
Unknown, it is still found only in Vaucluse in most cases established in arbors (our photographs), never in culture. La Glacière is a table grape, not always pleasant to eat, that was once kept either on stumps or on racks for the winter. Today, it is very rare to find this variety, which has completely disappeared.

The wine region of Barossa
Barossa is one of the six wine-producing zones of SouthAustralia, and arguably the most recognized name in the Australian wine industry. Barossa wines have attracted more international awards than any other region in the country. It is divided into two sections: the western Barossa Valley (effectively the Warmer valley floor) and on the eastern side the cooler, higher altitude Eden Valley, both of which have a distinct Geographical Indication (GI) formalized in 1997. Grapegrowing conditions vary immensely across the wider Barossa zone and this is reflected in the markedly different wine styles produced here.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
SouthAustralia is one of Australia's six states, located (as the name suggests) in the south of the vast island continent. It's the engine room of the Australian wine industry, responsible for about half of the country's total production each year. But there's more to the region than quantity - countless high-quality wines are produced here, most from the region's signature Grape, Shiraz. These include such fine, collectible wines as Penfolds Grange, Henschke Hill of Grace, Torbreck The Laird and d'Arenberg The Dead Arm.

Australia’s wine industry faces years of oversupply after exports plunge
Exports to China were wiped out in one fell swoop after Beijing imposed a tariff of up to 218% on Australian wine following a diplomatic row over the Covid-19 pandemic’s origins. At the time, China was Australia’s largest market, accounting for 40% of exports, so that was a hammer blow to producers across the country. The total value of exports then fell by another 10% in the 12 months to June 30, 2023, as inflationary pressures led to reduced demand in Australia’s largest markets, the USA and ...
