This Spring it’s not just the releases that are new. Taste, explore, have a ball!
On September 7 we have something to show you. A selection of wines that will challenge the way you think about the New Zealand wine category.
A finely tuned selection of carefully selected regional heroes from Central Otago, Canterbury/Waipara, Marlborough, Nelson, Wairapara (including Martinborough) and Hawke’s Bay. A unique statement about our diversity from the South to North islands, plus the first showing of 2010 vintage wines and a selection of wines new to the market in 2010.
This is an intimate tasting combining self pour options plus ambassadors from each of the above regions to talk you through their regional heroes. A very special afternoon for just 150 Sydney food & wine trade and media, made possible thanks to New Zealand 2011 and the upcoming Rugby World Cup promotions in Sydney.
Regional Voices:
Aromatic wines of Nelson
In Praise of Riesling – A thanksgiving of Waipara Valley wines
Hawke’s Bay’s great Chardonnays
Out on the ‘Reds Terrace’
