Characteristics of the Barossa Valley in South Australia

Recently, Yuncang winery brand LEESON red wine lovers shared that Australia is a representative of wine producing countries in the New World, and it is also known as the two emerging wine countries with the United States . Its popularity in China is very high, even comparable to France . The popular "Benfolds" brand in the wine industry comes from the Barossa Valley region of South Australia .

South Australia, referred to as " South Australia" and " SA " in English, is the most important wine-producing state in Australia. South Australia accounts for about 43% of Australia's total wine production , especially the Barossa Valley, which has inherited the German Silesian culture, and can be called a famous wine- producing region in Australia .

Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON Red Wine shares the six-generation family-run winery in this production area , protecting the most concentrated old vines in Australia, which can be traced back to the 1840s . The first batch of local residents were German-speaking immigrants from Silesia, and the lifestyle and culture of the residents here still have a strong German color. Although Cabernet Sauvignon was the main variety in Australia at the beginning, Syrah was retained at the same time, leaving many old vines of Shiraz in South Australia. Later, a winery specializing in the production of old-vine Syrah appeared in the Barossa Valley, and its reputation has spread far and wide since then .

Barossa is to Australia as a whole, just like Bordeaux is to France , it is also a shining business card. It has not only a traditional town that makes people feel friendly, but also wine cellars with a history of more than 100 years and ancient Shiraz vineyards.

The Barossa Valley has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and warm, rainy winters. The large temperature difference between day and night is very conducive to the accumulation of sugar and flavor in grapes. Proper use of irrigation technology can solve the problem of water shortage. The quality of grapes produced by vineyards in South Australia is also very good in this environment. The innate guarantee of South Australian wines.

Barossa Valley is famous for producing the world's top-quality Shiraz wines . Full-bodied and fruity sweetness are the most prominent features of Barossa Valley Shiraz . Syrah, the signature of the Barossa Valley, is one of the most recognizable wine styles in the world. The style of the wine is intense and concentrated, with strong aromas of blackberry, dried gooseberry and mocha coffee, with some earthy and tobacco notes. Due to the abundant sunshine in South Australia, the wine has high acidity, sufficient tannins and has the aging potential of more than 10 years .

In addition to Syrah red wine, there is another kind of wine that is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, which is referred to as " GSM blended red wine".

Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine shares that many star brands in Australia come from the Barossa Valley, such as Penfolds, Australian Tiger, and Jacobs.
