"Pale straw with a yellow tinge. Toasty, honeyed, waxy aromas of fig, kumquat and butterscotch over honeydew melon and lime juice. Forward, with a fine-grained, chalky texture and steely, tightly focused lemon-lime flavors sweetened by toasty oak. Turns fatter and fleshier toward the back, finishing clean and fresh. Precise and pristine; builds nicely on the palate. Give it time."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
