South Australia-classic but full of changes

Although it is difficult to combine classic and changeable features, South Australia's vast wilderness, changeable landforms and unique small production areas make it easy to combine these two different and even opposing features. The formation of Barossa is a classic, and the areas around McLaren Valley, Clare Valley and Kunavara are changing their patterns.

Barosa basin is classified as a warm area. Sufficient sunshine, dry summer and autumn, and large temperature difference between day and night make Barosa grapes keep relatively good acidity when they are fully ripe. It provides a good foundation for barossa to produce high-quality wine. Barosa has the oldest Syrah vine in Australia and even in the world, because this area has escaped the invasion of nodule aphids that once ran across the world. Barosa Shiraz wine is fruity, rich in black berries and plums in a certain proportion of American oak barrels, so the fruity flavor contains vanilla, coconut, baking and cream. However, the most attractive feature of Barosa Shiraz wine is its strong and smooth tannins. These two seemingly irreconcilable tannins make Barosa Shiraz wine have the aging potential at a young age, which is a rare feature of wine. Barosa Shiraz wine is also recognized as the representative of classic Australian Shiraz wine.

The McLaren Valley is more than an hour's journey from Barosa. Due to the influence of sea breeze and high altitude, the weather is cool in summer, which makes the local Shiraz wine a little less intense and a little more delicate than Barosa. The Syrah entrance in McLaren Valley is particularly smooth. Some people describe its taste as smooth and round as the rich olive oil in the local area, and it often contains the flavor of chocolate, licorice and other berries, with a unique flavor.

The inland location of Clare Valley makes this area have certain inland climate characteristics. Although it is sunny during the day and the temperature is high in summer and autumn, the low temperature and coolness at night slow down the ripening period of grapes, which is beneficial to grape propagation and accumulates rich aroma and connotation. Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is the main local red grape variety. These two varieties are not only used for separate brewing, but also often mixed together to become a unique mixed wine of Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon. Generally speaking, Syrah wine in Clare producing area is rich, but it is still a little less and spicy than red wine in Barosa producing area.

Kunavara is about 4 hours' drive from Barosa, which is closely related to its unique red soil and environment. Although Cabernet Sauvignon is now the main local grape variety, Syrah grape was still the main local grape variety 50~ 100 years ago. Ku Navarra's Shiraz is not as rich as Barosa's, with the flavor of black pepper and mint, and a little cool Shiraz.

Victoria and Western Australia-Cold Condiments

Although the wine producing areas in Victoria and Western Australia are far apart, their geographical location along the coastline is the same. The weather was blown away by the sea breeze and it was very cold. The maturity of grape planting is prolonged. The style of Shiraz wine is completely different from the classic Shiraz wine in Barosa.

Virginia Yarra Valley is famous in two states of Western Australia (Yarra Valley) and several sub-producing areas of Margaret Valley. Although the Shiraz red wine produced has a faint berry flavor, it has obvious black pepper and cinnamon flavor, accompanied by the cool breath of mint. Moderate and heavy-bodied wines are not as strong as Barosa Shiraz wines, but they are compact and meticulous in structure, active and juicy in acidity and slightly strong in tannins. After several years of exhibition, it often becomes smoother, more distinctive and more advantageous. In addition, in terms of winemaking methods, Shiraz grapes produced in these cold regions are often stored in French oak barrels, which is completely different from the strong influence of American oak barrels on Shiraz wines in Barosa.

Hunter Valley-A Different Style

Although Hunter Valley is one of the earliest areas where Shiraz grapes are planted in Australia, the reputation of Shiraz wine in Australia lags far behind that in South Australia. Perhaps this has something to do with the mild and unassuming climate and personality in this area. However, not being famous does not mean that it has no characteristics. Hunter's Shiraz wines have different styles. Shiraz wines in this region are usually medium-bodied. The fruity aroma of purple plums and red berries contains the compound aroma of tobacco, coffee beans, soy sauce, mushrooms and earth, which seems to show the charm of red wine in the traditional world. Soft tannins, extremely smooth taste and elegant aftertaste.

How to integrate into Australian immigrant life?

I. Dress

Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, and the climate is just the opposite of ours. Spring is from September to November. Summer is from December to February. Autumn is from March to May. Winter is from June to August. In addition, major cities in Australia are concentrated in coastal areas. The north has a humid tropical climate. The climate in other eastern and western coastal areas is relatively warm and pleasant, while the southern coastal areas and Tasmania are relatively cool. Generally speaking, the climate in Australia is relatively mild. As for the choice of clothes, there is no need to bring too thick clothes, bedding and other cold-proof items to study in Australia. Of course, basic winter clothes such as coats are necessary.

Second, diet.

Australia doesn't have its own special cuisine. It is a typical multicultural country, but everyone likes BBQ when eating, which is very suitable for parties. We can eat, drink and chat happily together. Of course, China culture is also an important part of Australia, and Chinese food is also very popular in Australian cuisine. In Australia, you can easily find restaurants in China, and even supermarkets can buy ingredients and vegetables from China. International students can cook by themselves, and the good cooking skills of China people have been widely praised. Australia has French food, Italian food, Indian food, Japanese food and Mexican food. There are many fast food restaurants for you to choose from, and the average food cost is about 50 to 100 Australian dollars. If you live in a host family, remember to report your preferences and taboos to them so that they can prepare for shopping. In addition, when you first come to Australia, you will inevitably encounter some different cultural differences and living habits. Knowing these questions in advance can avoid embarrassment.

Third, understand from the common sense of diet.

1. In Australia and some countries in Europe and America, it is forbidden to beat around the bush and get to the point directly, that is, not (not) not to give in. In our opinion, moderate comity may bore them.

2. In social occasions, especially in the process of interacting with women, if women don't pay attention to reaching out, men should remember not to take the initiative. In the eyes of Australians, men's behavior is impolite.

Remember not to discuss rabbits when eating and chatting, because Australians are particularly jealous of rabbits. In the eyes of Australians, rabbits are unlucky animals.

4. In China, we usually pull teeth with toothpicks with the waiter after dinner. Remember, don't take such action publicly in Australia. In their view, this is also a very impolite behavior.

Four. Housing and transportation

As for travel, you can apply for a monthly pass. In Melbourne, the monthly ticket usually exceeds 80 Australian dollars per month. You can take buses, trams and trains. Buses in Australia have running schedules, which can be obtained free of charge at stations and schools. You can also check all the trains through the website. Australian cars drive on the left. Contrary to China, if you want to drive in Australia, you must hold an international driver's license or apply for a local driver's license.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Other aspects

During the break, Australians like outdoor interaction, and there are many public facilities in Australia that can be used at will. Playing basketball, football and soccer will be a good choice. The scenery in Australia is also very beautiful. About three or two friends drive to enjoy the natural scenery of Australia, and basically they don't have to pay tolls. Australia is an ideal and comfortable place to live, with beautiful environment, clean life and sound welfare system. I believe you will love Australia.
