Top 5 Tasmanian Wines
When you ask mainland Aussie winemakers what other region of Australia they would like to produce wine, the answer is often Tasmania. That because Tasmania seams to be less affected by the rising temperatures of global warming. Another reason is that Tasmania specializes in the most demanded grape varieties and wine styles today including fine sparkling wines, delicate dry and semi-dry whites and lighter- bodied and low-tannin red wines such as Pinot Noir.
Tasmania is known to have the ideal mix for contemporary tastes. The Tasmanian Rieslings are good as any in the world, which means they are not for beginners but perfect for experts. The Tasmanian dry white Chardonnays with their naturally tight and high acidity, fine and complex flavours, no oak or high degrees or ripeness, are considered one of the most delicate and tasteful Australia produces.
Although Sauvignon Blanc is a work in progress, Pinot Gris and Grigio are very good and improving all the time. And the sparkling wines are probably the memorable wines of the apple isle. From crisp, young, fruit styles to ultra-complex aged examples all of them can be terrific.
