Event Description

Australia is home to a huge and growing diversity of wines. Regionality is a word that is increasingly being used to describe Australia's best wines. The cooler parts of Australia such as Tasmania, and coastal regions around Melbourne (such as Yarra Valley) produce some of OZ's best sparkling wines. If you like New World Rieslings (if you havent tried them yet - you must! - they are deliciously dry, zesty, sharp white wines that are great with Asian food) try wines from Eden & Clare Valley.

The quintissential OZ grape is Shiraz grown in all manner of climates from the hot Barossa Valley to the cooler climates of Western Australia. It ranges in flavour from spicy, jammy and unctuous to refined and peppery.

Western OZ is home to 2 delicious blends - a white produced from Semillon & Sauvignon Blanc, and a delicious Bordeaux-style red from Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot.

All tastings include: minimum of 6 wines sourced locally so you can find them easily if you like them, full tasting notes, tasting sheet and use of professional tastings glasses.
