Some are almost impossible to access, but for their years of industry experience. Having sourced the fruit, they hand it over to an equally deft winemaker. Sadly, both vineyard and winemaker are often embargoed. However, the proof of Clandestine is in the tasting. Clandestine Margaret River Malbec 2021 Wine Review Ray Jordan 95 points “Clandestine has made a statement with this variety since forming a few years ago. This is another very good one. Deep bright colour speaks malbec, then the juicy bright red fruits of the variety start their thing. It's had a decent hits of one and two year old oak over 20 months, but it's gobbled it up so the fruit is the dominant feature." Margaret River Three hours south of Perth is this land of Cabernet and Chardonnay. Right on the ocean, the climate allows the grapes to mature slowly on the vine. The wines are more powerful in the North and more elegant in the south. The best wines are world-class and are priced to reflect this. Chardonnay The grape that you can plant anywhere, in any climate and do anything to and it will still taste like an OK wine. When people hit the sweet spot of site, climate, cropping and winemaking, Chardonnay becomes a magical wine that will age gracefully but charm you at any age. Chardonnays can range from cool-climate lean and citrusy to warmer climate tropical and overt. Oak and lees can add flavouring as can malolactic fermentation. Australian Wine The invasion of “Sunshine in a bottle” put Australian wine on the map.  The fruity, easy-going, somewhat samey wines were endearing for a short time. Then the next big thing knocked them off their perch. This forced producers to increase quality and emphasise the special terroirs of Australia. Of which, there are many. And many more yet to be discovered. Wine Wine is the result you get from fermented grape juice. There is proof of wine production dating back 8000 years ago. Fashions, innovations and many other factors have influenced the way wine has evolved over the years. The wine grape is impressive. It contains everything you need to make grape wine except for the yeast, which lives on the outside of the skins. Human inputs can influence the final product, including the viticulture (growing) choices. And the winemaker can shape the wine to a point too. The best wines of the world often refer to terroir. Terroir is a French term that refers to all the climatic, geological and topographical influences on a specific piece of land. And it is true that neighbouring vineyards, grown identically, can taste noticeably different. Red Wine Fun fact; most of the colour for wines comes from the skins. There are only a handful of grapes that have red juice. Alicante is the most well-known of these grapes. By macerating the juice on the skins, the wine gains tannins, and flavours. Certain compounds change the chemistry of the wine too. Red wines tend to have higher alcohol. More tannin and more oak flavours compared to other styles of wine. But the thousands of grapes and terroirs they grow in influence this. The Wine Depository I, Phil, have been running The Wine Depository since 2011.
