Domaine Terlato
In Australia’s Victorian Pyrenees, Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier turns distance into precision: the partnership began in 2000, and the Great Western hills now carry Syrah with a touch of Viognier on clay‑and‑gravel, podzolic soils over schist and quartz.
Parcels like Malakoff and the steep blocks on the range are farmed for balance rather than yield. Fruit is picked by hand at measured ripeness, then worked with a quiet touch—long maceration in concrete, gentle pump‑overs, and an élevage in French oak that shapes tannin rather than perfume. The aim is always line and mineral drive, not easy sweetness.
What lands in the glass feels like a translation of two cultures: Rhône discipline meeting the oldest continent’s light, cooled by altitude and night breezes. A supple, structured style built on site, patience and stone—more resonance than volume.Domaine Terlato
