This tasting is always a highlight of the year. It features a whopping nine fully mature iconic wines, most of which are not available to purchase anywhere in the world!

We are delighted to welcome back Jo Clarkson, who has been collecting fine Australian wine for about 15 years. Australian wine is underrated, and he is on a mission to show people just how fantastic premium Australian wine can be. Over the years, he’s learnt a lot about the regions & the winemakers of Australia and in the wine tastings and will be sharing that knowledge with you and some of the finest wines from his cellar.

Most Australian wines are drunk far too early, but all the wines you’ll taste in the tasting will be wines that have already been cellared for many years and are in their prime drinking window. This means you’ll be tasting anything from 7-19-year-old wines made by true artisans, true craft masters, a world-class wine by any standard.

We’ll be tasting nine wines, two whites and four excellent reds, before finishing with three truly iconic Australian Wines. These icons are the very finest (and rarest) from my cellar from the most iconic wine houses in Australia.

This tastings is informal, informative, interactive, but most importantly, fun.

Note: We’re keeping the numbers for the tasting to 10 people so that you’ll get a decent taste of every wine. No-one goes home thirsty (or sober) from this tasting.
