With some of the most ancient soils and oldest vines on the planet, and contemporary, innovative winemakers, Australia is full of contrasts and surprises.
Join us in Hamburg to explore Australia’s iconic regions and classic varieties as well as alternative varieties and new wave styles. Taste the wines that put Australia in the spotlight and discover exciting new wines that are coming out of the country today.
The masterclass features twelve wines from nine regions, with classic styles including Hunter Valley Semillon, Eden Valley Riesling and Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, shown alongside their new wave alternatives including Chenin Blanc, Gamay, Nero d’Avola and minimal intervention Pinot Noir.
We also invite you to explore classic and contemporary styles in the free-pour tasting, which features 30 wines from across Australia. The line-up includes aromatic whites, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and alternative varieties.
Don’t miss this exciting event. It’s a chance to uncover regional and stylistic differences, find out about winemaking techniques and innovative spirit, and look into the future of Australian wine.
