Grand Tasting Museum Masterclasses
We're excited to announce exclusive Museum Wine Masterclasses as part of the Grand Tasting presented by Singapore Airlines! For an additional $35, you'll have the rare opportunity to explore and taste carefully curated, aged wines from the Margaret River region’s most prestigious cellars at Howard Park Wines. These rare vintages, typically not available to the public, offer a unique journey through the history and craftsmanship of Margaret River’s finest wines, thoughtfully presented by lauded wine writers Nick Ryan and Erin Larkin.
Saturday 16 November
1:30pm - Beyond Cabernet & Chardonnay with Nick Ryan
We know how great Cabernet and Chardonnay is... but let's look at some other strings to this beautiful bow.
2:45pm - Should We Age Chardonnay? With Erin Larkin
Margaret River produces Chardonnays that are high in acidity, and due to the bunch structure of the ubiquitous Gingin Clone, the wines also have excellent structural integrity via the phenolics. Do these attributes naturally need the wines to ageing in our cellars?
Sunday 17 November
1:30pm - Clone Wars: Chardonnay and Cabernet with Erin Larkin
Bring out the clones!
2:45pm - Mature Beauty with Nick Ryan
The essence of a great wine region is an ability to produce wines of longevity. Here we mount the case for Margaret River's ability to do just that.
