Touring Margaret River Wineries: What Factors Affect Wine’s Taste?


Whether you are taking a tour of Margaret River wineries for the first time or planning your umpteenth visit, it pays to truly understand wines and know how to taste them like an expert. Tasting, however, is not exactly the same as drinking wine; this delicate task requires you to pay attention to your senses to better appreciate wine’s fine qualities. Plenty of factors in the environment also affect how wine tastes. According to master sommelier Tim Gaiser, the sense of smell and taste is different in every individual, and so is the tolerance for wine ingredients. For instance, one person may find the wine’s acidity overpowering, another might notice its tannins and still another consider the sulphur dioxide content too strong.

Margaret River Wineries: Sparkling Wines that are Perfect with Cheese


Sparkling wines have always been associated with joyous occasions for their festive taste. These wines also pair well with certain types of cheeses, particularly those a bit on the salty side. Here are some excellent suggestions from Margaret River wineries like The Berry Farm. Triple Crème Rich cheeses high in butterfat enhance the acidity of champagne, giving you a fuller taste as you enjoy each bite of cheese. Saint-Andre, a triple crème cheese made from cow’s milk in France, has a smooth and buttery taste that matches a wide range of sparkling wines. Another type of triple crème cheese favourite is Brilliat-Savarin, which was prominent in Normandy in the 18th century. Fruit-flavoured sparkling wines go best with high-fat cheeses like these.
