The greatest traditional method sparkling wines from around the world have always held a special place close to my heart, and there are simply none better than the incredible method champenoise creations of Champagne. Since 2006, when I wrote my Master of Wine dissertation on sparkling wine, much has changed in the world of Champagne, with the era of premium “grower Champagnes” finally becoming a mainstream category around the world. #finewinesafari https://lnkd.in/eD9fNaaN

A story on the beginnings of the improvement and modernization of Chianti Wines.

Explore the renowned wines that were recognized for its superior quality as early as the Napoleonic era. History: The 1855 Exposition Universelle, was one of the biggest world’s fairs held in Paris, France. During his reign, Emperor Napoleon III requested for a grand presentation of the finest Bordeaux wines, for this exposition. Further entrusting wine traders with the responsibility of ranking Bordeaux wines according to their reputation and price. This resulted in one of the most significant events in the history of wine, the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, which has largely remained untouched to this day. Classification: The wines were classified based on their quality, ranging from first to fifth growth (class/crus). Majority of the wines were red, with a total of 60 chateaus from Médoc and 1 from Pessac-Léognan, Graves. Also ranking sweet wines from Sauternes and Barsac which included 27 chateaux. The red wines classified are primarily made with Cabernet Sauvignon, resulting in well-structured, age-worthy wines with complex notes of blackcurrant, black cherries, tobacco, and herbs. In addition, sweet white wines are predominantly produced from a blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadet. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gcDQSSV5

Australian Indigenous-owned wine brand Mt Yengo Wines said it has seen a “tenfold” surge in growth over the last three months, with expansion into Coles Liquor, Carnival Cruises, and a partnership with O’Leary Walker wines. Co-owner Wayne Quilliam, an Australian artist and proud Palawa man, attributed the growth to consumers craving the “unique” offering of an Indigenous brand that also promotes First Nations art and culture. “We have been working with one of the country’s leading winemakers, David O’Leary, and Nick and Jack Walker from the O’Leary Walker Winery for nearly five years, crafting our premium range of wines which are served in some of Australia’s best restaurants including Rockpool Sydney and Midden by Mark Olive at the Opera House,” said Quilliam. “In a major coup we have also signed a deal to see these premium wines served on Carnival Cruises, including P&O and Princess Cruises, with more than 1,200 cases sold in the last six weeks alone. This is something we are very proud of, with very few Australian brands given this opportunity to supply cruise ships in Australia. “We also have three new wines launched into Vintage Cellars and First Choice Liquor (Coles Liquor) as well as supplied to major corporates including KPMG, E&Y, Macquarie Group, Deloitte and PwC. “Our people are proud to see an Indigenous brand thriving in this space. We want our wine to be a celebration of diversity, unity, and the remarkable resilience of Indigenous culture,” Quilliam said. Mt Yengo Wines said its export opportunities are also on the rise, as it finalises its distribution into China in January, with further plans in 2025 to expand the brand to the UK and parts of Europe. https://lnkd.in/g4JskVXA

Can you believe it has been a week since we closed the doors on the final event of our national, five-city tour of LANGTONS Classification of Australian Wine Eighth Edition? Over 2500 guests, RIEDEL glass in hand, took to the red carpet, passed the Vintec Wine Cabinets and tasted from the 4837 opened bottles of Australia's best and finest wines as we landed what are, without doubt, the best wine-tasting events in Australia. We are immensely grateful to our winery and industry partners for helping us deliver this mammoth effort. We have been waiting to host these events since we last did so in 2018. And the wines. Oh! The wines. Over 100 of them. A is for Arras EJ Carr Late Disgorged. We like to open our events with fizz, and, naturally, we were at the top of the tree for the Classification series. B is for Bass Phillip tasted next to Bindi, an elite-level masterclass in distinct Australian terroirs. C is for Classified Chardonnay, a tasting that took us from east to west with the deep energy of Cullen Kevin John to the tense, acrobatic balance of Tyrrell's Vat 47. Next to Shiraz. But where to start? Barossa Valley? Eden Valley? Hunter Valley? Or Beechworth or Canberra or Sunbury or Yarra or Grampians. Australia does Shiraz well and in many different styles and places. Following that with Cabernets felt like artillery being rolled out as Coonawarra and Margaret River staked their claims for regional dominance. Yarra Valley and Tasmania asked serious questions with flagship offerings that had punters sniffing, sipping, oohing and aahing as they got into deep discussions with one eye on the clock. Being in the fine wine auction business, we know what rarity does for demand. Six years since our last Classification event feels like a very long time. However, LANGTONS Classification is a guide for buyers to secondary market trends for Australian fine wine. The time between drinks allows us to map great changes in Australian fine wine rather than vintage variation. And what a pleasure it was to spend time with the Australian fine wine community, makers and tasters alike. RIEDEL - The Wine Glass Company Vintec The Australian
