Event Description
Australian winemaking has come a long way since the 1990s and the preference for rich, warming styles of wine is changing.
Adelaide Hills provides plenty of cooling altitude and we'll taste a top Chardonnay full of lean, fresh fruit perfectly signalling the new style of Chardonnay Australian winemakers now aim at making.
Coonawarra has a distinctive reputation in Australian wine managing, through a combination of climate and unusual red clay soils, to produce complexity and structure in wines that reward ageing.
HOW IT WORKS
You buy the wines separately and need only consume a tasting sample of each wine during the tutorial. You can follow our preservation tips to keep any leftovers for another day.
James Thorne has put together a 3-bottle pack at an exclusive 15% discount.
The price is for TWO connecting with one video feed. To book just ONE space, please use the promotional code 'Online1' at checkout, reducing the price by £8. (For three or more people using one video feed there is no additional charge beyond the price for two).
After you book your spaces, we'll send a link for ordering the wines. We will also send instructions for joining Zoom calls from a desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Zoom is proving to be a very sociable medium for wine tasting, so we can guarantee you'll have fun! Each session will last just over an hour.
Note - the best value way to access our online tastings is by joining our monthly subscription club (20% discount). This gives you access to our weekly classes and if you need to skip sessions we give you credits (use these to pay for other events, give free spaces to friends or arrange a private party we'll host for you). Plus you get free access to our WineBrain tutorials included!
