G'day Mate! Come join me in a trip down under to Australia to learn about winemaking.. ..

First you have to grow the grapes...

Then you have to pick them and crush them

Then they go in these huge tanks for a little while to ferment with yeast

The region is known for old fashioned full bodied reds which have much to do with the mild temperate climate, complex soils and winemaking technique.

Sooner or later they can go into oak barrels

oh wait a minute what it this? An old grape crusher

It amazing to see how they did things in the past versus now.....

Wax lined cement tanks

White wines also have a certain full flavored intensity about them.

The old

vs. the New

Oh my, that is a lot of wine

Did you know that they take cuttings of the vines and root them and start new plots of vines?

The region is best known for Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and more recently, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc.

The McLaren Vale is half an hour south of Adelaide, between the Southern Adelaide Hills and the sea. The areas hot summer growing season is tempered by cool afternoon sea breezes.
