The Southern Ocean
A schematic view of the major ocean currents of the Southern Hemisphere oceans south of 201°S. Depths shallower than 3500m are shaded. C, current; G, gyre; F, front; ACC, Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
Bottom outflows from the Southern Ocean.Antarctic Bottom Water (green) is generated on the shelves of the Weddell Sea, Prydz Bay, Adélie Land and Ross Sea, where it sinks to depth (purple arrows). On moving northwards across the bounds of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (red dashed lines), it mixes with less dense water above to form Antarctic Circumpolar Current bottom water (light pink). Areas shaded in dark pink indicate bottom water less dense than Antarctic Circumpolar Current bottom water. Undiluted Antarctic Bottom Water has been shown to leave the Southern Ocean along Ewing Bank3 and through gaps in the Southwest Indian Ridge (blue arrows). Fukamachi and colleagues2 present measurements over two years of an unusually strong, Deep Western Boundary Current consisting of Antarctic Bottom Water along the Kerguelen Plateau (black contours). Water depths shallower than 3,500 m are shaded in light grey, and shallower than 800 m in dark grey. Land masses are shown in black.

The wine enters the palate with intense flavours of citrus oil, vanilla spice and toasted almond brioche. The mid-palate is rich and waxy with herbal notes, finishing with hints of stem ginger and great length.
