Here at Wine Chat we’ll be running a unit for the next month looking into how  wine is made. This week is an introduction to the topic and for the month of march each episode will be a deep dive into a particular stage of the wine making process. As always we are joined by BSC: Wine Science student Cal Lee to lead us into the world of wine making.

Wine of the Week

2024, Konpira Maru ‘Pan Opticon’ Riesling/Pinot Gris/Gewurztraminer, King Valley Victoria

Fresh acidity and tropical fruits scream through this field blend from the Merkel Vineyard located in the Whitlands region of the King Valley. An ode to the wines of Alsace, this sleek blue bottle is a playful look at everything fun about their noble varietals.  No ageing recommended, just grab a second bottle because it tends to go quickly!
