Sunday 12th February: Riesling Taste Off 2: Canberra Versus France and Germany
Come and taste some Rieslings from the Canberra District and a selection from France and Germany. You be the judge of style and quality - enjoying some tapas tasters.
Where: McKellar Ridge Cellar Door, Murrumbateman Time: 1-3pm Cost $20 per head
Details to come.
“The intense, fresh blackberry and violets aromas have appeal. Although the palate is quite substantial, it has the weight and structure to age.”
Highly Recommended Wine Wise Canberra District Shiraz Tasting
“Rich, tarry/earthy bouquet with hints of tea leaves. Quite herbal flavours with a big mouthful of tannins and a pleasant lingering finish.”
Winestate Bordeaux Blends - 4 stars (Silver)
Included in Winestate Annual Edition 2012 : Best Wines of 2011 Style Tastings
“Spicy, mint-choc aromas and nicely “shaped”. Long, lean, chocolaty palate. Has maturity and grace!”

Time: From 5pm for 2 hours.
