Join Ray O'Connor MW to explore the the diversity and quality that can be found in the wines of New Zealand
Event details
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is the UK's best-selling white wine, but there is so much more to explore from the country aside from this popular style.
Varying climates and ambitious winemaking have resulted in a brave new offering from winemakers looking to stand out.
Come along to this tasting hosted by Master of Wine Ray O'Connor to discover what makes New Zealand's wine so popular and discover some hidden gems.
Guests will enjoy the wines alongside a selection of cheese and charcuterie.
