Barossa Valley Regional Tasting with Steak Frites Dinner Faculty Club, Wednesday, May 16, 2018
Wine has been a way of life in Barossa since 1842. Fast forward to today, and Barossa is home to more than 550 grape growing families, many with the sixth generation still working the same plot of land, supplying quality grapes to more than 170 wine companies. The best Barossan wines sit comfortably alongside the great wines of the world. Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling have led the way as regional heroes, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Grenache, Semillon and Fortified wines all contributing to Barossa's standing as one of the world's great wine regions. Barossa incorporates both the Barossa Valley and Eden Valleys, making it one of the only wine regions in Australia to have neighbouring warm and cool climate growing conditions. With such a diversity of growing conditions and soil types across both valleys, and vineyards that have been tended by hand for many generations, you are bound to find a wine to call your own. While we are not at the Peter Lehmann winery shown above, we do have his famous Shiraz in the line-up for this Regional Tasting. We’re pleased to announce that Joe Gentile, ex-LCBO Vintages Product Consultant and a Shiraz lover, will take us through the tasting of the following wines:
2003 Barossa Valley E&E Black Pepper Shiraz For more information on the Barossa Valley wines and wineries, go to www.barossa.com/wine/wineries-search.
