Wines from the Edge: Oregon vs New Zealand
Monday 6 November 2023 @ 13:00 - 15:30 GMT
Afternoon session 1.00pm – 3.30pm
Join two Master of Wine experts for a 2.5hr session that will delve into the unique wines of two winemaking regions: Oregon and New Zealand.
First, guests will experience a tutored masterclass, hosted by Bree Stock MW of Oregon and Peter McCombie MW of New Zealand. You will focus on the two regions and learn the similarities and differences between them. Participants will taste 12 wines in total as you explore the regions and these will illustrate the points being made by the MW’s.
Then, an open, walk-around tasting will showcase a number of wine styles for you to taste independently. This tasting will show a range of wines from both regions including sparkling wines, classic whites, classic reds and then a selection of more unusual varieties, blends and wine making techniques.
All the wines presented are premium quality and showcase smaller, artisanal producers and will expand on the masterclass discussion.
