Australia
Australia is a huge country made up of seven large states. Margaret River (near Perth) is as far from the Hunter Valley (near Sydney) as London is from Moscow, with corresponding diversity of climate and soil. Shiraz & Chardonnay are just the start in terms of wine styles – over 100 grape varieties are grown with variations in flavour between each region. There are 60 recognised wine regions, on the edge of deserts, the sides of snow-capped mountains and overlooking surf beaches, and being a long way from anywhere else, you often find the Aussies have created their own style. MoondarraOur Moondarra range of wines are exclusive to WaverleyTBS and are blended by our very own winemakers to suit the UK palate. The wines are consumer friendly, fruit driven wines that bring the best of Australia to the table at a price that everyone can afford. The name Moondarra is descended from Lake Moondarra, which is an artificial lake on the Leichhardt River, 16km downstream from the town of Mount Isa, which is located two hours east from Melbourne in the South Eastern part of Australia. Lake Moondarra provides the necessary water supply to the town and the adjacent Mount Isa mines.Moondarra – Semillon / Sauvignon BlancThe wine has a pale lemon colour and aromas of fresh citrus, combined with gooseberry and herbal extracts.
