Why Australia for Fine Wines?
Australia, the land DownUnder, has become a major and exciting force in international wines. Australian wine is taking the world by storm, due to the quality of the grape stock combined with the skill and experience of our winemakers. This enables us to produce a superb and wide range of Australian wine styles.
Our island continent features wines as varied as its terrain. Most people know of Australian Shiraz - that fruit-forward wine now known and enjoyed around the world. These fabulous 'fruit bombs' represent but a small part of the overall Australian winemaking scene.
Australia is sometimes described as the perfect wine producing country. It has a land mass as great as the United States or Western Europe, with a diverse climate from cold to cool to warm, and a wide variety of soil types, including the famous Coonawarra terra rossa. These natural advantages coupled with the irrepressible free-spirited character of the Australian people, has encouraged Australian winemakers to build on the great traditions of winemaking, to create delicious wines of stunning quality, diversity and uniqueness.
Wines from Australia are usually denoted by their grape variety. Aside from Shiraz, Australia also produces fine Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and plenty of Cab-Shiraz blends plus some distinct Aussie wines. And don't forget our Australian sparking whites and reds - just the wines to keep your taste buds tingling.
Delicious concentrated ripe fruit, harvested at the peak of perfection is easier to obtain in Australia than almost anywhere else in the world. Australian wines are a delight on your palette with their different aromas, flavours and taste sensations crafted from each of the different grapes, blends and regions.
Please come and visit us DownUnder, but if you don't have the time just now, take a Wine Tour around our amazing country through our AussieWinesOnline.com website and experience the people, places and our incomparable wines.

Ch Theulet Monbazillac - Futs des Chenes - Prestige
Located in the Bergerac region just west of Bordeaux lays the tiny Monbazillac district that specializes in late-harvest dessert wines. Made from Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadet, this botrytis or late-harvest wine (like great Sauternes), Monbazillac has a special production not commonly found in after-dinner wines. Although a white wine, Monbazillac is produced like a red wine, leaving the skins of the grapes in contact with the juice for a number of weeks giving particularly rich flavor elements. The juice is then fermented and aged in oak barrels for at least 18 months. Chateau Theulet is a wine with light gold color and a concentrated and complex nose of acacia, apricots and citrus fruits. A rich and voluptuous attack awaits the palate with flavors of vanilla and caramel. If you like fois gras, this is your wine. It is also excellent with any blue cheese or by itself as a "dessert in a bottle." MONB01 MONB01

Discovering More Wine Club Benefits

I’ve loved this wine from my first taste of it in the Nelson Family Vineyards tasting room in 2006. Then, it was the 2005 and it convinced me to join the Nelson Wine Club. On the nose of the 2006 I found pineapple, honey, spice, lychee, orange, lemon zest, and ginger. I loved the spicy quality that this wine has.

Any good wino knows that joining a wine of the month club is often a great way to try unusual or unfamiliar reds and whites. And while California is clearly known for its excellent presence in the wine world, I've grown pretty fond of the Show-Me State's wines too.
