1
It may look like a vineyard straight out of the Mediterranean,
2
but this crop is in South Australia's Riverland and hasn't been watered for two months.
3
I was stressed at the beginning,
4
I thought, no, it's not going to work,
5
but they've just taken off so well,
6
they've grown amazingly and they just taste exactly what it tastes like in Cyprus.
7
Yanni Katootsis and his family have been growing grapes for more than 50 years
8
and is now one of two growers in Australia trialling the drought-tolerant white wine grape known as Zinisteri.
9
It's reduced the consumption so much,
10
looking at maybe 75% less water than,
11
say, with Shirazes or the Chardonnays.
12
So it's been a lot less water,
13
and I was quite surprised about that.
14
Like, the leaves are still quite green,
15
and we're not watering as much as we usually do.
16
You know, I have my family and my brother saying,
17
you know, why aren't you watering your plants?
18
And my mum going, why aren't you watering your vines?
19
I'm like, we don't need to.
20
And we're seeing that they actually don't need that much water,
21
and this is what we want to see and this is exciting.
22
Originating in Cyprus more than 5,000 years ago,
23
Zinisteri is known for its thick skin and drought tolerance,
24
making it resistant to heat waves, disease and low rainfall.
25
For Yanni, who's experienced below average rainfall for three consecutive years,
26
the variety has come at the perfect time.
27
I can feel the energy between myself and Zinisteri.
28
It's like, come on guys,
29
you've got to be resistant and resilient to our heat, our climate here.
30
And it's not only reducing his water bill,
31
but reconnecting him to his Mediterranean roots.
32
It's a connection to our history.
33
It's a connection to the family.
34
It's a connection to the variety that's been around for
35
so many years and for me it's important to keep this Hellenic culture strong,
36
not just in the Riverland but in Australia as a whole.
37
They're just growing so quickly.
38
The trunks are so thick.
39
It's only three years, aren't they?
40
Unbelievable.
41
It could be five, six, seven years old.
42
Zinisteri was introduced to Australia in 2018 by researcher Dr Alexander Copper,
43
who has spent the last 16 years investigating Mediterranean wine grape varieties that could suit Australia's warming and changing climate.
44
We were looking at what they call homoclimes,
45
so trying to match the climates,
46
and the one climate that matched pretty closely to Cyprus was Riverland,
47
Renmark, and definitely when we first brought the varieties to Australia,
48
tried to grow it in McLaren Vale down south,
49
didn't like the cold weather,
50
but when we put it here,
51
the combination I think of the soil and the heat,
52
it just grew like crazy.
53
What struck you when comparing Cyprus to South Australia in terms of the climate and the similar landscapes that we see?
54
Cyprus and most of the eastern Mediterranean is very limestone based soil,
55
so ancient seabeds basically.
56
And it looks very similar to around the river land when you're driving up,
57
seeing all the stones in the fields,
58
it reminds me of Cyprus.
59
Most South Australian vineyards, the latitude is 35 degrees.
60
And when we're looking in the Northern Hemisphere,
61
35 degree latitude, you get Cyprus,
62
Israel, Syria, Greece, Crete, Malta, Tunisia and Algeria.
63
So they're the types of climates that we should be looking at and exploring for varieties to use in South Australia.
64
It's a different picture from French varieties which are currently grown in Australian soil.
65
Shiraz and Cabernet and Chardonnay and Savion Blanc and Pinot Gris is a big one now as well.
66
And they're all French varieties so traditionally obviously France is a bit cooler,
67
more rainfall, more winter rainfall and without changing climate those varieties can still perform in places like like Adelaide Hills,
68
Victoria and Tasmania.
69
But for South Australia, unless you've got good irrigation,
70
we've got to start thinking of alternatives.
71
I think long-term, those varieties are going to be a bit of a struggle.
72
A struggle the Riverland knows all too well.
73
Temporary water market prices have more than doubled in the Lower Murray-Darling Basin in the last 12 months,
74
currently sitting around $400 a megalitre.
75
And with some bulk wine producers receiving less than $100 a tonne for their fruit this season,
76
and consumers drinking less wine,
77
it's meant growers aren't harvesting their vines.
78
It's very heartbreaking to see grapes drop to the ground,
79
which we actually just did a couple of weeks ago,
80
basically because there's no price for that variety.
81
And to watch my mum cry and my parents cry, it's absolutely heartbreaking.
82
And, and, and...
83
Sorry.
84
It's heartbreaking to see farmers struggling and...
85
and suffering.
86
It's an awful feeling.
87
Ensuring growers stay on the land is front of mind for industry leaders.
88
Dr Peter Heyman is the principal scientist in climate applications with the South Australian Research and Development Institute,
89
and has spent decades analyzing changing adaptation pressures on primary industries.
90
Irrigated fixed horticulture, perennial horticulture compared to annual horticulture,
91
was seen as pretty drought proof.
92
It had reliable water, it had a fixed allocation and it was a permanent planting.
93
During the millennium drought we came to realise
94
that nothing is more vulnerable to shortage of water than perennial horticulture because it needs it all the time,
95
unlike annual horticulture where you can pull back and plant less area.
96
Along with water constraints comes rising growing season temperatures which are predicted to increase by almost two degrees by 2070.
97
And hotter temperatures brings an increased frequency of heatwave events,
98
something Dr Hayman says is changing Australia's grape growing landscape.
99
Dr Hayman, It's not like we can't grow grapes here anymore,
100
it's just that there's a bit of a headwind of it being that little bit warmer,
101
which means the grapes will grow a little bit quicker,
102
but we'll also on a daily basis use a bit more water.
103
But a worry is what that means for these heat waves.
104
Let's test the sugar.
105
With farmers diversifying to drought-tolerant crops like Zinisteri and the federal government committing more than $500 million to future drought fund initiatives,
106
Dr Hayman believes there's still hope.
107
Oh yeah, it's about nine or ten at the moment,
108
so we're almost there.
109
One of the aspects of adapting to change is that diversity is good.
110
So it's great to have alternatives and diversity and looking at different varieties and so on.
111
But it's also, people are sticking with traditional varieties and doing that in innovative ways and so on.
112
So I think there's a whole many sources of adaptation.
113
Zinisteri is showing great promise for growers in the Riverland who are desperate to find a way forward
114
and a future for farming on their blocks.
115
The variety has also been introduced to the premium wine region, the Barossa Valley.
116
And Barossa producers are now bottling and selling the product for the first time in Australia.
117
At a bottling facility in Yuriyutpa,
118
around 500 bottles of Zinisteri are being packed for the first time.
119
This is our 2025 vintage.
120
We planted the grapes in October of 2021.
121
With a bit of frost last year hitting us,
122
we were only able to pick about 800 kilos.
123
So this is the very first production of it that we put into a bottle.
124
It's got a nice, beautiful colour,
125
a nice, vibrant blue capsule.
126
But, yeah, very small production,
127
and we're super excited to be the first producers in Australia.
128
It's amazing how these have tolerated the heat.
129
Paul and Mara Georgiadis have been growing grapes in the Barossa Valley for almost 30 years,
130
a region known for premium red wine production.
131
But after being introduced to Zinisteri by Alex Copper,
132
their 90-vine trial has now expanded to one acre and become a mainstay on their vineyard.
133
People are drinking a lot more white wine,
134
so we needed to introduce a white variety that actually suits the Barossa Valley.
135
And that's where Sinisteri, I think,
136
has become one of those winners for us.
137
Because not only it's part of a drought-tolerant program,
138
but it was something for us
139
that we can actually have another story as people come in to taste their wines in our cellar door.
140
So we have got white varieties.
141
It's not just, it's a 45 degree day and you're only looking at reds.
142
And since hitting cellar door shelves,
143
it's flown out the door.
144
Since we bottled late last year,
145
we produced 80 dozen, and we've got about 20 dozen left,
146
so we've been literally drip-feeding it into our market there.
147
In terms of the wine itself,
148
what could it be compared to for someone who isn't really across the Cypriot varieties
149
that we know as in asteria is a variety we tend to hear very often,
150
so what could it be compared to?
151
I'd say personally there, it's probably more in that sort of Pinot Gris, Pinot Grigio style.
152
Some of the tropical flavours on the nose,
153
but then it's got some lovely sort of white peach and plum coming through the palate as well.
154
Would you like to have a taste and try the wine?
155
That would be great.
156
Thank you.
157
Cheers.
158
Cheers.
159
Enjoy.
160
Thank you.
161
It's really fruity, like that passion fruit,
162
citrusy smell that you were talking about you can really feel those notes coming through.
163
So Helios is the ancient Greek term for sun,
164
and where this grape originates from in Cyprus there,
165
there's a lot of sun there and where we're growing it in the process,
166
so having that linked through.
167
Zinisteri, the grape variety, could be a little challenging for the consumer as well.
168
To be able to say Helios there makes it a bit easier there to recognise that.
169
Come on in Azoli, let's go!
170
A Cypriot variety connecting climate and culture across South Australia.
171
To bring and grow something new and be some of the pioneers in those varieties,
172
to have grass roots back in Greece,
173
it's just something very special.
174
I can see my dad who passed away in 2015 probably from above smiling,
175
going, jeez I wish he did that when I was still here.
176
It's given me some hope really,
177
it's given me some hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is something,
178
a hope out there for the wine industry and hope for our business as a family too.
179
I'm sure and I can see it,
180
I can see a lot of interest around it,
181
that it will have a positive outcome.
182
This is how we dance in our garden every day.
183
Thank you.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
