SUMMARY:[SA] Beyond Barrique: Wines Aged in Alternative Vessels
DESCRIPTION:* SOLD OUT  – waitlist open*\n\n\nThe history of winemaking has strong ties to the use of amphorae. While these vessels are part of winemaking tradition in some parts of the world\, they are regarded as avant-garde in other regions.\n\nIn Australia\, small-format oak barrels have been predominantly used to forge the country’s regional and varietal styles. Times are changing\, though\, and several quality-focused producers have been experimenting “Beyond Barrique” to reshape the future of winemaking.\n\nFrom clay amphorae to concrete eggs and even stainless steel tanks\, we’re uncorking the secrets of alternative aging vessels and their influence on the flavour profile of grape varieties from near and far!\n\nJoin Sommeliers Australia’s Marcell Kustos (LUDO Wines) and Shaughn Jenkins (DipWSET; Through the Cellar Door) alongside guest speakers leading the way for alternative vessels: Amelia Nolan (Alkina Wine Estate)\, Peter Fraser (Yangarra Estate and Hickinbotham Wines)\, and David LeMire MW (Shaw+Smith and MMAD Vineyard).\n\nSpace is limited\, so reserve your seat today and elevate your wine knowledge with “Beyond Barrique”!\n  \nTICKETS: \n⇒ Members Tasting Ticket – $15 + booking fee \n\nTo access the Members priced ticket\, Sommeliers Australia Members login at sommeliers.com.au\, click the ‘View Available Coupons’ button on the dashboard for their UNIQUE ACCESS CODE.

Ever curious\, she has since been doing research\, historical and otherwise\, on numerous apple varieties and the ciders made from them. For the last six years Darlene has been working with the American Cider Association on their Certified Cider Professionals program developing content to educate beverage professionals and enthusiasts alike on the breadth and depth of what cider has to offer. \nDarlene is a well-respected international cider judge and the editor of the cider and apple-themed zine\, Malus as well as writing about cider and apples for a variety of publications and at www.allintocider.com. Her book\, Cider Cocktails–Another Bite of the Apple\, was the first book on the modern exploration of using cider in cocktails. \nDarlene is the guest international judge at the 2023 Australian Cider Awards.
