Region
A vast and important fruit-producing region on the Murray River in South Australia at the border with Victoria. This irrigated region produces many different varietals in relatively warm conditions and supplies much of the competitively priced, full-flavoured Aussie bulk wine.
Tasting Notes
One of Australia’s great sweet wines. Made from late harvested Semillon grapes which have been affected by `botrytis`, a type of rot which concentrates the sugars in the grapes. The wine displays typical flavours of apricot and soft marmalade flavours combined with citrus and hints of vanillin oak. A long and luscious finish is enhanced by refreshing acidity and beautifully integrated oak.
Food
Desserts that are no too sweet, such as cheesecake, almond tart or dried fruits.
