Impressionism.
Known to portray overall visual effects instead of details, and the use of short "broken" brush strokes to achieve an effect of intense color vibration. To me, this movement was about bypassing subtleties and creating art with impact and an overall direct energy. If this sounds like the type of wine you would like to enjoy as well, then head straight down under, where bold and direct are keys to the structure in Australian wines. Better known for their reds than the whites, most major varietals pack a big punch with less focus on nuances. The best example from this country is their traditional Shiraz, although often a common blend of Grenache Shiraz and Movedere (GSM) also fit a similar profile. Due to the grape varietals used and the warmth of the climate, most bottles offer full bodied wines with loads of ripe blackberry, black pepper, and sometimes even jammy flavors, with an unapologetic use of oak. These wines are celebrated for their upfront and ease of drinking style, both qualities many consumers look for.
