Inspired Tasting Australia House • London 26 October 2017 Wine Regions of Australia Introduction Wine Australia for Australian Wine Inspired Tasting Australia House • London 26 October 2017 Wine regions of Australia Introduction Welcome to our Inspired Tasting. With 65 wine regions and a geography DARWIN that spans the equivalent of Europe, there is much in Australia that is both daunting and inspirational. The landscape of Australian wine is constantly changing and, every time we visit, we are overwhelmed by the passion, energy and innovation we find in the vineyards and wineries. Today’s tasting is a small snapshot of carefully chosen wines that have inspired our visitors over the last few years. Some are firm favourites Northern Territory revisited with each successive vintage; others reflect the first time visit to a region or winery; some represent that ‘eureka’ moment while others are Queensland the discovery of the previously unknown, the unusual and the surprising. Western Australia There is a story behind each choice which we share with you so that you, too, can be inspired by Australian wine. 28 South Eastern We hope you enjoy this event!

  • In the Time It Has Taken James Halliday to Compile His 26 Australian Wine
    In the time it has taken James Halliday to compile his 26 Australian Wine Companions, the Chardonnay grape has emigrated to almost every hill and vale across our viticultural landscape. No other variety has adapted more successfully, from single barrel selections to vast commercial blends. No other inspires such singular focus in our winemakers to sharpen their craft. No other sends vignerons searching, with gold fever, for that next hill, or clone, or aspect. Chardonnay alone explores the breadth and personality of all Australian wine regions. In our tribute to James Halliday, the true patron of fine Australian wine, no other variety would do for this national wine competition. Organised by Wine Yarra Valley, the objective of the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge is to affirm the quality of Australian Chardonnay and provide a catalyst for people to take a fresh look at this much-loved wine by providing an appropriate platform for the national search to recognize Australia’s finest chardonnay. A Welcome from the Committee Australian chardonnay has never been better. It is a great news story and one about which we should all be proud and excited. The level of support for the inaugural James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge has been overwhelming and we thank all of the exhibitors for getting behind it so enthusiastically. We thank James for his guidance and support in the design and execution of the competition and agreeing to be our patron. We were very lucky to be able to secure one of the most dynamic and talented groups of judges in Australia, literally from coast-to-coast, and thank them for volunteering their time, expertise and camaraderie.

  • Winemaking and Wine Tourism in Lubuskie As a Strategy for Local Revitalisation
    WINEMAKING AND WINE TOURISM IN LUBUSKIE AS A STRATEGY FOR LOCAL REVITALISATION Jerzy Leszkowicz-Baczyński1 ABSTRACT The current paper aims to provide a theoretical and conceptual analysis of wine tourism in Lubuskie, Poland, to relate the experiences underlying the current state of the art and to formulate some guidelines for directions for future enotourism development. Lubuskie winemaking was reborn at the beginning of the present century, after half a century of the tradition remaining dormant. The redevelopment of Lubuskie winemaking has been accompanied by numerous manifestations of the development of enotourism and is noticeable in each of the examined cases below. The article is based on the author’s research, which includes quality interviews with vineyard owners who state that, in addition to wine production, wine tourism is an equally important trend in their professional lives. Lubuskie’s enotourism promotion is consistent with the patterns developed in countries with well-established wine traditions, although it is not as diverse. An important component of Lubuskie’s tourism promotion is the reference to its pre-war tradition, combined with an exposition of its material wine heritage. The recommendations for further activities in the field of enotourism are related, on the one hand, to the expansion of the vineyards’ enotourism packages and, on the other hand, to the implementation of new concepts for the popularization of Zielona Góra’s wine heritage, including the development of the wine route in the city.
