Climate: Australia has some of the most diverse climates for grape growing in the world. These include ultra-cool climates to moderate-cold regions, high elevations, warm climate sub- tropical regions, coastal and inland wine-growing regions, and unique island wine-growing areas. Soil: Australia has some of the oldest and most varied soil profiles on Earth, from rich and fertile through to rugged and desert-like, with high mineral content and arid areas embraced. Introduction Australian wine is so unique, so exciting, because there’s nothing like the landscapes, people and history of Australia. The Foundations program has been developed by Wine Australia, the organisation that manages marketing, research and development activities in the Australian wine community. It will be taught in approximately three hours and will include the tasting of some of Australia’s classic and emerging wines and wine styles.

  • Structure in Wine Steiia Thiast
    Structure in Wine steiia thiAst What is Structure? • So what is this thing, structure? It*s the sense you have that the wine has a well-established form,I think ofit as the architecture ofthe wine. A wine with a great structure will often remind me ofthe outlines of a cathedral, or the veins in a leaf...it supports, and balances the fiuit characteristics ofthe wine. The French often describe structure as the skeleton ofthe wine, as opposed to its flavor which they describe as the flesh. • Where does structure come firom? In white wines, it usually comes from alcohol or acidity; in red wines, it comes from a combination of acidity and tannin, a component in the grapes' skins and seeds. Thus, wines with a lot of tannin (like cabernet) also have a lot of structure. Beaujolais is made from gamay which does not have much tannin. As a result, Beaujolais can lack structure; it feels soft, flat or simple in the mouth (though its flavors can certainly still be attractive). • While structure is hard to articulate, you can easily taste or sense it —^and the lack of it. • Understanding structure is critical to understanding any ofthe ''powerful" red varieties: cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, nebbiolo, tempranillo, and malbec, to name a few. I just don't think you can understand these wines unless you understand structure, and how it frames and focuses the powerful rush of fruit. It adds freshness, and a "lightness" to the density ofripe fiuit. Structure matters when pairing wine and food. Foods with a lot of structure themselves— like a meaty, thick steak-need wines with commensurate structure (like cabernet), or the food experience can dwarfthe wine experience.

  • Spartico Tempranillo/Cabernet Organic Wine
    Spartico Tempranillo/Cabernet Organic Wine Winemakers: Bodegas Iranzo Appellation: D.O. Utiel Requena (Valencia) Location: Valencia Varietal(s): 50% Tempranillo 50% Cabernet Sauvignon Ageing: No oak ageing - Best when consumed young. Analytical Data: Alc. 14.5.% by Vol. · Res. Sugar 1.44 g/l · Acidity: 5.11 g/l Serve at: 59º F-63º F UPC: 1-85554 00054-3 Vineyard: All of the production is obtained from the Estate FINCA CAÑADA HONDA. The production area includes lime soils which are ideal for obtaining colorful wines. Also the sand textures of these lime soils benefit the ripening of the grapes. The vineyard is situated 800 – 850 meters above sea level with an N / SE orientation resulting in maximum sunlight exposure. Vinification: The wine making process without the use of sulfur means that the hygienic conditions have to been extreme during harvest season. The grapes are harvested solely by hand in small crates. Every effort is made to avoid breakage and bacteria attacks. The wine deposits are filled very briefly so as not to delay the delicate fermentation process. All elements that come in contact with this no sulfite added wine are subject to the most extreme hygienically conditions. Terroir: Mix of sandy and clay soils, with the presence of stones. Training system: The vines are guided by the Gullot doble system, although the vines are not held. This system enhances the airing of the vines, avoids the emergence of cliptogamic diseases. Also, a shading cover of the vegetation avoids the direct impact of the sun on the vines. Tasting Notes: Aromas of strawberry, stewed plum, vanilla custard, and baking spice with a bright, dry light-to-medium body and an interesting, medium-long , prune, and bittersweet chocolate finish with well-integrated tannins.

  • Regional Fiano
    REGIONAL FIANO WINE Regional Fiano VINTAGE 2018 REGION Margaret River VARIETY Fiano ANALYSIS Alcohol 13.5%, pH 3.26, TA 6.7 g/L VINTAGE & WINEMAKING NOTES The 2018 vintage was moderate, mild and a good year to grow Fiano in Margaret River. Rainfall in early January renewed canopies across the region and resulted in beautifully ripe, varietally pure wines that are brimming with perfect, delicate, natural acidity. This select parcel of Margaret River Fiano was harvested in the cool night and transported to Millbrook in the early hours of the morning. The fruit was gently pressed taking only the pure free-run juice, before racking from any solids. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel to retain freshness, with a select yeast strain chosen to enhance the varietal expression of this Southern Italian variety. This wine underwent minimal fining and filtration prior to being bottled. TASTING NOTES Colour Brilliant pale lemon. Aroma Lifted lemon, pear and green apple skin with lovely floral, spice and honey notes. Palate A dry, crisp and clean expression of Fiano, showing pear and green apple notes with a twist of fresh lemon zest. Beautifully textural, with good length and an interesting, almost saline edge. CELLARING Enjoy now, lightly chilled. MILLBROOK.WINE | | REGIONAL RANGE The Millbrook Regional range highlights the quality and diversity of Western Australia’s wine regions. Millbrook’s winemakers have identified specific regions best suited to the varieties in the range in order to make expressive, vibrant and varietally pure wines, which perfectly match a range of cuisines.

CLIMATE CHANGE A REALITY IN THE REGION Over the past 30 years, the three key uni- versal bioclimatic indexes used to monitor Water balance local winegrowing conditions have evolved slightly down as follows: Huglin index rose from 1,565 to 1,800 Cool nights index rose from 9.8°C to 10.4°C Compared with the 30-year baseline average (1961-1990), the temperature has risen by 1.1°C ON AVERAGE. Average rainfall is still 700mm/year. Damage caused by spring frosts has slightly increased despite a drop in the number of frosty nights due to earlier bud burst. The consequences are already visible and are indeed positive for the quality of the musts: Over the past 30 years: - 1,3 g H2SO4/l total acidity Earlier harvests starting 18 days earlier + 0,7 % vol natural alcoholic strength by volume These beneficial effects may well continue if global warming is limited to a 2°C rise.
