Some people say that Australian wines are falling out of favor. Well, don't tell that to the Australian bike racers that, once again, dominated the Tour Down Under. And don't tell that to this Cabernet Sauvignon challenger from Langmeil based in Barossa.
The Tour Down Under marks the beginning of the professional road racing season. Most racers are just starting to return to form. However, the Australian racers are in peak condition since their National Championship races happen a week earlier. This race has been dominated by the Ausies for the past decade, winning 7 out of the last 10 editions. Richie Porte won the 2020 Tour Down Under for his second overall title in the last four years.
This week's Luchavino matchup features an Australian challenger from Barossa taking on a Washington Carbernet Sauvignon.
