Join Emma Symington MW as she explores the challenges and opportunities facing Australia's winemakers.
Event details
An innovative wine country home to some of the oldest vines in the world; bigger than Europe but producing less wine than Bordeaux and Burgundy combined; impacted by both serious bushfires and extreme flooding in the last few years. Australia is a country of contrasts and, for its winegrowers, home to both challenges and opportunities.
In her next webinar for WSET School London, Emma Symington MW will delve into these challenges and discuss the impact on Australia's wine industry. She'll also talk through the strengths and opportunities Australian winegrowers have and what makes their wines so unique.
Although this is not a tasting session, please do feel free to join with a glass of Aussie wine of your choice.
