Discover two of the most remote wine regions in the world in the next instalment of our Australian wine webinar series.
Event details
Margaret River and Great Southern in Western Australia are two of the most isolated wine regions in the world. Despite both being young, with plantings only starting in the 1960s and 1970s, they have each made their mark and are now celebrated for differing styles of wine: Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon in Margaret River and Riesling and Syrah in Great Southern.
Join Emma Symington MW for a deep dive into these two exciting regions to learn about their differing climates and topographical characteristics, and how these impact the styles of wine they make. We’ll also discuss their history and explore why the wines they’re making today are so exciting.
Although this is not a tasting session, please do feel free to join with a glass of your choice!
