    You chose a great region for Pinot Noir in Australia, however you need to go more south to Tasmania. The colder climate produces some truly outstanding pinots and the basalt / dolerite rocks high iron content allow for deeper colours where age doesn't necessarily match it's colour / hue.

    • @intheknow6499

      @tonyturner4602 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s a bit of a misnomer that just because tassie is more southerly it’s cooler, ie Central Otago would always market itself as one of the southernmost wine regions which makes you think cool, where the Martinborough vineyards on the North island are consistently cooler - elevation, mountain ranges, ocean currents & winds have a lot to do with it. Check out photos of NSW’s Orange region’s vineyards in autumn & winter - not uncommon to see a blanket of snow over the vines

    Great explanation on Pinot Noir around the world, loved it!
    One point about colour... we grow Pinot Noir on our property in Marlborough, New Zealand, and regardless of the differing seasons and sunshine hours, we always harvest the grapes fully purple - no green at all. In fact, during harvest we are careful to avoid any small green bunches (or second set) as they do not have the required sugar content to make a drinkable wine and can add an unpleasant 'green' flavour character to the end result. However, sometimes our wine is deep and dark and sometimes it is very light in colour - it all depends how much water the plants received during and leading up to harvest. The more water, the bigger the grapes and the less colour the wine will have, as the skin to juice ratio is less. A long dry summer and lots of wind will produce small berries with thick skins and a very high skin to juice ratio - and these will result in a dark coloured wine, even though the grapes are produced off exactly the same block. One year we produced bunches so big the resulting 'red wine' was like a dark rosé! Our friend who's a winemaker saw the fruit and asked what the hell it was because it was "too big to be Pinot Noir!" 😂 Our wee vineyard is far up the valley and received a lot more rain that year than the lower blocks.

    It’s crazy to me how much people overseas pay for South African wine and then I remember how good it is. And I’m like oh yeah “it’s just cheap for me because I live in the wine region” 😂.
    A good reminder to appreciate that I have affordable to access to incredible wine. Would love to taste more European wine but our currency is weak as heck.

    By chance I happened to visit Hamilton Russel in the beautiful Hemel en Aarde Valley last weekend for a tasting and I certainly did not know that they were such a celebrated winery - it was all very low key there, work as usual. There was a farm next door called Spookfontein that we also visited and this was also a great experience - beautiful raw contemporary Architecture - just brick and glass and unfinished concrete, they had a port which was also not too shabby.

    It seems a large part of being a sommelier is being able to describe tastes. It seems simple at first but if you think about it, it can't be easy giving unique descriptions of things that are all very similar.

    I don't always know what Andre is saying, but I always appreciate him speaking! Love this man and his knowledge.
