Deemed as ‘classic’, 2019 is a vintage that enjoyed more conventional weather patterns. A wet Spring provided generous reserves of water for the vines during a particularly warm June and July. Mellow, warm days carried 2019 through to October yielding grapes that displayed perfect phenolic and flavour ripeness.

The tasting will be held upstairs at Fallon and Byrne.

Terroir is a word, mostly used by the French and questioned by scientists. While there is no official link between soil type and the taste of wines made on these soils, we as wine lovers can recognise the origins of wines by the expression and structure the soil lends the wine.

This tasting will look at various soils and the resultant effect on the wine. No such thing as minerality? We shall see about that. Join Harriet Tindal MW to taste and discuss over a range representative wines.

Tickets are €45 and based on a first come first served basis. Sign up today.

Our Vino Cru members are growing both in numbers and in knowledge!

Join us this month as we look at sustainability in the vineyards. Sure, it’s a buzz word, fast becoming as popular as natural wine, organics etc. But do you know what it means?

We’re excited to welcome Malcolm from Hither and Yon in McLaren Vale for this tasting. Their family vineyard is working on a complete circle of regenerative agriculture. They are working on doing less in the vineyards by letting nature find a balance. If you are interested in learning more about soil health, carbon sequestering and Aussie wine this tasting is for you.

Of course, there will be a selection of 6 wines to taste during the discussion, we’ll be tasting and talking through Mal’s wines as well as one or two outliers. So if you’d like to put some stuffing in your convictions about sustainability, join us in June for our lively and interactive workshop.

Tickets for this event are 30 euro each.
