McLaren Vale Backyard Cellar 2005
McLaren Vale Backyard Cellar fra årgang 2005 er en rødvin fremstillet af Backyard Cellar. Vinen er produceret på druen Shiraz, som er bredt anerkendt som Australiens nationaldrue og den absolut mest plantede druesort i delstaten South Australia. Druerne til denne vin er dyrket i McLaren Vale, et område kendt for sit middelhavspræg, hvor varme dage efterfølges af kølige briser fra havet om natten, hvilket skaber ideelle betingelser for druernes modning.
South Australia udgør hjertet af den australske vinindustri og står for over halvdelen af landets samlede vinproduktion. Delstaten strækker sig over seks breddegrader og rummer en række af landets mest berømte vinregioner, hvor Adelaide fungerer som det centrale knudepunkt. Her trives Shiraz-druen særdeles godt og danner grundlag for regionens signaturstil.
Under fremstillingen af denne vin, som også bærer betegnelsen Bin 1, foregår den indledende proces i åbne kar. Efterfølgende lagres vinen i 12 måneder på fade af både amerikansk og fransk eg. Vinen er fremstillet med et restsukkerindhold på 1 gram per liter og har en alkoholprocent på 14,5.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
South Australia
South Australia is Australia's most important wine-producing state, with over half of the country's total wine production. The area spans six degrees of latitude from warm inland zones to cool highland regions, with Adelaide serving as the wine centre.
The state contains Australia's most famous wine regions: Barossa Valley and Eden Valley (Shiraz with some of the world's oldest productive vines from the 1840s), Clare Valley (dry, citrus-driven Riesling), Coonawarra (Cabernet Sauvignon on the characteristic terra rossa soil over limestone), McLaren Vale (Shiraz and Grenache with a Mediterranean character), Adelaide Hills (cool high-altitude region with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc), and the large Riverland region for value wines. Shiraz dominates the plantings and yields full-bodied, generous wines with ripe dark berries, blackberry, plum, chocolate, liquorice and soft tannins, while GSM blends (Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvèdre) are a signature style. The whites include acid-driven Riesling with citrus, lime, white flowers and chalky minerality, as well as Chardonnay in several styles. The area is known as home to iconic wines such as Penfolds Grange, Henschke Hill of Grace, Jacob's Creek and Yalumba, and as Australia's most important export region.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
