The wine region of Cowra
GI in New South Wales (1,250 km² in the Lachlan Valley, Central Dividing Range, brown sandy loam to clay soils, continental climate with hot summers and cool winters). Chardonnay has been the Australian white king here since 1972: generous with yellow peach, ripe fig and French oak notes, evolving towards honey and brioche. Shiraz is the full-bodied red king with dark berries, plums, peppery spices and a chocolatey touch, silky tannins and a long finish.
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: Over-ripeness
Characteristic of grapes harvested late, rich in sugar, which give wines often mellow and marked by candied aromas.
