Discover the grape variety: Roussette d'Ayze

Roussette d'Ayze is one of the secondary grape varieties used in the production of Ayze wines. It is grown only in the Arve Valley, in the communes of Marignier, Ayze and Bonneville, covering a total area of approximately 22 hectares. If its grapes are white at the beginning, they gradually turn golden, until they are ripe. Despite the juicy pulp of the Ayze roussette, it is not sufficiently aromatic and the wine it produces is of average quality, which is why it is considered more effective in the production of sparkling wines. The cultivation is fruitful and somewhat rapid, provided of course that this variety is not exposed to grey rot or mildew.

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.

The word of the wine: Maceration

Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
