videoRanking Vineyards: The Fight Australia Isn't Ready For
Australia's wine regions weren't drawn because winemakers asked for them. They were drawn because Europe wanted proof our labels meant something before it would sign a trade deal, and the big companies only got on board for the market access. Brian Croser signed that agreement for the industry in 1993. In this reverse interview he's back at the table to tackle the next question: should Australia go further and build a proper quality system? The conversation gets into the guts of it. It covers how the Adelaide Hills is actually defined (altitude, geology, rainfall, climate), why you can stand on one side of a road and be outside the region, the 85/15 rule behind every regional label, and what it would take to carve out a new subregion around Gumeracha. Then comes the uncomfortable hypothetical: what stops someone planting a famous region wall to wall, cropping 20 to 30 tonnes a hectare, and dragging its reputation down for everyone? The discussion runs from Italy's 1963 DOC laws and p

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Tannat
Tannat 🍷 Photo by Doris Schneider on Wikimedia Commons The Tannat ( tahn-naht ) grape originated in the Madiran region of South West France, where it has been grown for centuries. In the late 19th century, Basque immigrants carried the vine to Uruguay. Today, Tannat is the national signature grape of Uruguay, thriving in its coastal climate and producing softer styles of wine than its French counterparts. It is also grown in smaller amounts in places like California, Virginia, and Australia. Tannt’s name comes from the local French word for "tanned," referencing both its dark skin color. Wines made from Tannat will have aromas and flavors like blackberries, dark plums, and black currants. Additionally, there may be hints of dark chocolate, licorice, spices, and smoke. Because it naturally contains a very high amount of seed and skin compounds called tannins, the wine can feel quite drying in your mouth when it is young. This high amount of tannins gives Tannat an exceptional ability t

videoAustralian Fiano Doesn't Use Italy as a Reference | Why Australian Fiano
Why Australian Fiano, part three. What's most unique about Australian Fiano is the style, because we don't use Italy as a reference. Italian Fiano has these amazingly complex savoury elements, largely thanks to the volcanic soils it grows in. Australian drinkers tend to look for terpenes, citrus and lifted, tight aromatics instead. Funnily enough, those go really well with Asian food, which we eat a hell of a lot of in Australia.
