SUMMARY:Terroir Tasting with Jon Peet - Elephant Hill\, Hawke's Bay New Zealand
DESCRIPTION:Viticulturalist Jon Peet Invites You To Talk & Taste Terroir  \nElephant Hill – Hawke’s Bay\, Te Awanga\, Gimblett Gravels\, Bridge PA Triangle. \nTuesday 17th July – 10.30 to 12 noon / pm slots also available. \n  \nTasting \nVineyards                                                                                              Wine \nTe Awanga                                                                                            Elephant Hill Estate Chardonnay 2015 \nTe Awanga                                                                                            Elephant Hill Reserve Chardonnay 2015 Best in show at the DWWA 2018 \nTe Awanga\, Gimblett Gravels                                                            Elephant Hill Reserve Syrah 2013 \nTe Awanga\, Gimblett Gravels\, Bridge Pa Triangle                         Elephant Hill Reserve Syrah 2014 First time shown in UK \nTe Awanga\, Gimblett Gravels                                                           Airavata 2014 First time shown in UK \n“What attracted me to the position of viticulturalist at Elephant Hill?  What is has managed to achieve in such a relatively short space of time and an uncompromising approach to quality” explains Jon Peet\, who has 30 years’ worth of horticultural and agricultural roles under his belt including 13 years running his own winegrowing business in Hawke’s Bay.  “And the opportunity to concentrate on what is best for each and every vine to allow it to achieve the maximum wine potential.”  Blocks are split into different rows and then picked by clone. \n“At Elephant Hill\, my work is to respond to the need of the vine whatever that season throws at it as a good viticulturalist will be skilful enough to go with the flow in any one season and the East coast of NZ has one of the most variable climates in the grape growing world.  There is nothing predictable about how each vine will respond to the vagaries of each season. \nElephant Hill was founded in 2003\, and its first vintage was only released in 2007.  The Elephant Hill Estate Syrah 2009 then went on to scoop the Trophy for the Best Red Rhône Varietal over £10 at the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards.

SUMMARY:Amorim Cork and Wine Faults Seminar
DESCRIPTION:PUT A CORK IN IT! \nWhy are fine wines invariably closed with a cork – but why do we use the term ‘corked’ to describe all faulty wines? What causes those faults\, and how can we identify\, and name\, them? \nDr Paulo Lopes\, the R&D lead at Amorim – the Portuguese world leader in the production of whole\, natural corks – will be in London to give a very special presentation to trade\,  press\,  sommeliers and  wine students on Monday March 26th at 67 Pall Mall\, from 2pm to 4pm. \nHe will focus not only on the huge strides being made by the cork industry for its future\, but also on what happens to the wine when bottled and why closures can affect the wine inside in various ways. \nThis is a unique opportunity to not only learn more about the whole range of cork stoppers\, their production and quality controls\, but also to discover different wine faults  in depth. What they are\, how to spot them\, and how they are caused – together with hands-on ‘nosing’ and experimenting. \nFascinating stuff\, distilled into a simple approach to help anyone when opening bottles for their guests. \nEntry is free\, but space is limited.  To book your place contact Fiona Campbell on 01225 7982095 or email at fionaccampbell@btopenworld.com \n
