Let's talk little, let's talk wine

The three main varieties (Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache) each bring their own characteristics to the blend. Syrah brings notes of black plum , blackberries , pepper and licorice as well as silky tannins. Grenache brings creaminess and aromas of raspberry and blueberry . The Mourvèdre gives it flavors of red fruits and structure . The three grape varieties coexist in perfect harmony to produce a wine with balance and depth.

Where are we traveling?

Mc Laren Vale The McLaren Vale region is home to some of the oldest vines in the country dating as far back as 1850. The main grape varieties planted are Shiraz (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Chardonnay. The region produces 90% reds and 10% whites. Overall, the climate is Mediterranean, with cool sea breezes that help moderate high temperatures during the growing season. Cold winds from the hills also cool the grapes at some vineyard sites, helping to retain acidity and structure. Summers and most of autumn are dry, which helps combat vine diseases. It is therefore not surprising that there are more than a hundred wineries operating in the region, and most produce excellent wines. The climate is also suitable for olives and a few wineries produce olive oil outside the region.

The little history of the country

Australia

Australia began producing wine more than two centuries ago. This has resulted in a country rich in old vines, multi-generational winemaking families and an ingrained knowledge and respect for craftsmanship. Add to that a thirst to explore and innovate, a fearless attitude and a diverse notebook of 65 wine regions in many climates, and you have the makings of an extraordinary wine country unlike any other. Australia burst into export markets in the 1980s and since then has been providing the world with vibrant, fruity and exceptional value wines. Until the late 1990s and early 2000s, Australian wine history was dominated by examples of Shiraz, Grenache and overly concentrated red blends. Between these two extremes lies the diversity of Australia's offering of high quality and regional wines that has always existed. Australian viticulture is mainly concentrated on the southern oceanic edge where conditions are cooler. There are four main wine regions located around major cities. Western Australia around Perth, South Australia around Adelaide, Victoria around Melbourne and New South Wales around Sydney. The country is one of the largest wine producers in the world, and was the 4th largest exporter in the world in 2011. This recent development now makes Australia one of the most prominent countries for the quality of its wines. You can taste Australian wines all over the country. Each Australian region has its own grape varieties. Australian wines are defined by their grape variety, unlike French wines which are defined by their terroir.
