2001 Burge Family GSM Olive Hill
AUSTRALIA / SOUTH AUSTRALIA /
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 90
($40) Full, dark red-ruby. Intense, perfumed, floral aromas of slightly jammy dark fruits and bubblegum. Smooth and fleshy, with meaty yet vibrant flavors of small dark fruits. Spicy and elegant, bound by fine-grained, tight-knit tannins and finishing earthy and savory.Author: Jeremy OliverIssue: July/August 2003
More than half of all Australian wine production takes place in the South Australia region—home to the Shiraz-specializing Barossa Valley as well as revered Riesling zones Clare Valley and Eden Valley. South Australia is too large and diverse to generalize about climate or topography, with both cooler coastal areas and warmer inland sections—but rainfall is generally low throughout and drought is a constant concern.
