Australian wine regions
Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

Winepros' Notes |

Wine background
Sourced from what Wyndham Estate describes as "premium Australian regions" which, in ordinary circumstances, tells us precisely nothing, and in the case of Pinot Noir, even less again. Perhaps the answer lies in the winery, where a wide variety of fermenation techniques were used, ranging from conventional crushing and destemming for generic red wine production, through to a parcel of hand-picked fruit subject to carbonic maceration and ultimately hand plunging. After pressing, malolactic fermentation took place in two and three-year-old French oak hogsheads and stainless steel tanks. The components were matured for six months before final blending and bottling. | |
| James Halliday Jan 27 2002 Rating: 83 out of 100 | Light to medium red-purple; the fragrant bouquet has touches of strawberry and cherry, plus a whiff of savoury earth. The earthy characters tend to take over the palate, which does not have overmuch structure. Not quite as good as the 2000 vintage, but nonetheless good value at the price. |
