Saturday, October 29th, 12pm – 2pm
Riesling is King in the Clare, there is no doubt about it and recently it has had a wonderful run of vintages with 2022 looking to be one of the greats. A combination of effusive and lifted floral aromatics combined with wonderfully pure fruit, concentration, what seems to be boundless energy, and full of joie-du-vivre. These are wines that are looking beautiful in their youth but are built to stand the test of time with aplomb.
Despite the fact that it's predominately a Riesling hood, the Clare also produces some incredible red wines too (it is right next to the Barossa, after all). Its cooler climate and higher altitude produce wines of wonderful concentration and complexity.
Join us Saturday for a deep dive into Clare 2022 with a selection of the region's best producers in town to show us what this incredible vintage has produced. We will also be including a number of great reds out of this wonderful region and several winemakers including Rasa Fabian and Richard Woods (Shut the Gate), John Hughes (Rieslingfreak) and David O'leary (O'Leary Walker).
