Spring Wines

As we begin to emerge from the long cold winter we come once again to the fresh and elegant wines that we left behind in September. This tends to be the time when fresh new vintages of crisp whites and Rosés become available for the first time. Taste your way through the new season’s offerings and plan your summer buying.

Learn what makes a wine taste different by sampling wines from different climates and wine making techniques. From Crisp fresh Loire wines to full on rich South Africans and from elegant Burgundies to the heat and spice of Australia’s southern states. Tasters will also learn how to ‘Read behind the label’ and decode the information on bottles of wine from different countries and regions.
