Saturday 29th April 12-2pm at Prince Wine Store Sydney
When South American wine boomed in this country we were flooded with cheap, factory produced Malbecs and clout chasing icon wines from Argentina and Chile. It wasn't that the wines were especially bad, in fact most were quite well made, but for some reason they seemed to lack a little excitement. A little character, it all seemed a bit too slick and homogeneous.
Since then, the landscape has changed dramatically, and we are seeing more and more thrilling wines from Argentina, Chile and Uruguay than ever before. Many from small, young, quality focused producers looking to strip back oak and extraction and let their wonderful vineyards show themselves. It's not all malbec and cabernet either with tannat, bonarda and pais and many others to be found in the kaleidoscopic new South America.
So, what better way to take the temperature of South American wine than with a tasting featuring 20+ wines from some of this country's most in-the-know importers. This will be a fantastic tasting for those already with a passion for these wines but also for those who are yet to discover what great South American wine is all about. We can't wait to see you there.
