Wine Australia - Off the Vine
2018-09-20 00:00 | London tbc, London
Whether it’s bold and innovative techniques in the vineyards, pushing winemaking boundaries or experimentation with non-traditional varieties, Australia’s new breed of winemakers have a fresh attitude and approach.
Following the success and disruptive impact of the Artisans of Australia tasting in September 2016, we’re back this September with a new iteration of this ground-breaking event.
This tasting will introduce you to some of Australia’s most pioneering winemakers and their exciting, diverse styles of wines. Nearly 50 winemakers and winery owners will be flying in from Australia to pour their wines and share their stories.
We’re calling the event ‘Off the Vine’ as the producers are a bit ‘off the wall’ in respects to breaking traditions and the tasting features brand new releases and new styles – many not seen before in the UK – that are almost straight off the vine.

Jackson Family Wines Collection VÉRITÉ 2015 UK Presentation
2018-10-01 14:15 | The Dorchester, 53, Park Lane, London, WK1 1QA, United Kingdom
Vérité produces wines without compromise, wines that reflect the terroir in which they are grown. The name Vérité comes from the French word for truth. The wines are a combination of old-world experience and new-world fruit. Vigneron Pierre Seillan, Vérité’s first and only winemaker, is a man who understands and appreciates the importance of the land. He is intimately involved in every step of the winegrowing process from bud break to bottling. Since the winery’s founding in 1998, Pierre has identified more than 40 micro-crus along the western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountain Range in Sonoma County. These micro-crus are actually small vineyards within vineyards, a palette of soil types. Hand farmed for extremely low yields, they produce wines of exceptional quality and character. Vérité wines represent a meticulously formed union of grape varieties, climate, soil expression and winemaking technique. Pierre refers to this methodology as droit du sol, “right of the soil.” Each vintage the winery releases three Bordeaux-inspired blends: La Muse (Merlot-based), La Joie (Cabernet Sauvignon-based) and Le Désir (Cabernet Franc-based). While all three wines are impeccably balanced and sumptuously textured in their youth, they have the weight and foundation to age for many years.

2018-10-08 11:00 - 12:30 | MH UK HQ, 12-18 Grosvenor Gardens, Belgravia, London, SW1W 0DH
Hosted by Winemaker Daniel Sorrell.
“In 2018, we have made a wine that tells the story of our vineyards, our culture and the quality of our fruit. There are challenges in any year, but we have learnt over many years that focus in the vineyard is the key to a delicious wine.” Jim White, Technical Director
The 2018 Vintage
Blenheim, New Zealand, 13.08.2018 – Cloudy Bay released its 34th vintage 2018 Sauvignon Blanc. The 2018 growing season began in fine style, with settled conditions and no frost, leading to an early budburst and successful flowering. Warm and dry conditions through December encouraged flourishing canopy growth and good potential crop levels. Cooler weather from January onwards allowed for more steady ripening. Harvest commenced on March 21st and was completed on April 5th. Fruit was picked with ripe flavours, good concentration and great acidity.
Appellation Marlborough Wine – Launched June 2018
The Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are located in the heart of the Wairau Valley in Marlborough. In June 2018, Cloudy Bay became one of the founder members of Appellation Marlborough Wine – an organisation designed to protect the integrity, authenticity and brand value of wines produced here. Sauvignon made under the AMW banner must be: 100% from Marlborough, made from lower-yielding vines; made and bottled in New Zealand.
About Cloudy Bay
Cloudy Bay was established in 1985 by David Hohnen, a pioneer and visionary, who was convinced of New Zealand great potential. The winery was among the first five to be established in Marlborough, the country’s finest wine region, and is now highly regarded for the quality and consistency of its range. Thirty years later, Cloudy Bay remains NZ’s most recognised winery. Sauvignon Blanc is the Estate’s flagship grape variety. Cloudy Bay also produces a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir and a sparkling wine: Pelorus.

It’s with great pleasure that the Association des Champagnes Biologiques (ACB) would like to invite you to its First Official Organic Champagne tasting in London.
Certified organic champagne remains a rarity. Of the 33,000 appellation hectares, only 600 are certified organic or in the process of being certified. And if just 2% of the champagne production surface is organically engaged, certified organic cuvees make up less than 1% of the total production.
In this exclusive tasting, 18 certified organic producers from all over the region look forward to share their grape growing and wine making vision as well as their cuvees with you. We have opted for an intimate setting to stimulate proper interaction and quality exchange with the winemakers; however this means spaces are limited.

New Zealand Wines 200th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Trade Tasting
2019-01-16 10:00 - 17:00 | Etc Venues, County Hall, Belvedere Road, London, SE1 7PB
Did you know New Zealand is celebrating 200 years since the first vines were planted in New Zealand soil? Yorkshireman and Christian missionary Samuel Marsden first planted vines in Northland in September 1819 although we don’t know if he ever made wine. Charles Darwin noted that grapes were among the fruits flourishing under Maori care in the Bay of Islands when he sailed through on his world tour in 1835. He was less complimentary about one of the local towns, Russell, calling it ‘the hellhole of the Pacific’. It’s one of the nicest hell holes you could ever wish to visit today.
Don’t forget to come and help us celebrate our 200th anniversary at our annual trade tasting.
