[VIC] Terroirs of Grenache: A Masterclass

In celebration of International Grenache Day on 20 September, in conjunction with McLaren Vale Grape Wine and Tourism Association, Sommeliers Australia are hosting a tasting event focusing on the impressive capacity that Grenache has as a carrier for terroir.

Join our hosts Chris Ryan (Trader House) and Paddy Gilhooly (Thistledown Wines) as they guide you through three flights of Grenache and discuss the influences of terroir according to the various examples.

The tasting will include twelve wines in total across three flights. The first two brackets will focus on examples from McLaren Vale, comprising eight single vineyard wines from older sites. The first flight will highlight Grenache from Blewitt Springs old vines, and the second flight will explore the slightly lower and warmer Onkaparinga Rocks and Whites Valley. The third bracket will showcase international examples from South Africa, France, and Spain.

The calibre of wines in the line-up makes this an event not to be missed. Expect to see examples from: Paralian, Aphelion, Bondar, Maxwell Wines, Sadie Family Wines, and Daniel Landi.

Seats are limited – book early to avoid disappointment.
