Four course dinner with accompanying wines plus drinks on arrival, canapes, coffee and petit fours
Ever since the heady days of the 1980’s when Oddbins were the first to champion the wines of Australia here in the UK with lots of fruit forward Shiraz and easy drinking Chardonnay much has changed, however what has not changed is the Brits love of a “nice bottle” from the sunburnt country and Australian wine is as popular now as it ever was and today the UK is still one of the largest export markets for Australian wines.
Today there are over 60 different designated growing regions in Australia with around 160,000 hectares of vines planted and some of the oldest commercial wineries were established as long ago as the 1820’s and 30’s. There are vines grown in every state, however the blazing heat in the desert centre and the tropical, humid weather in the north of the country dictate that most wines are produced in the southern, eastern and south western regions where the climate is cooler.
The event will be hosted by Damon Little from Liberty Wines who has selected a very interesting range of wines that are not produced from mainstream grape varietals but considered to be emerging future stars within the wine industry at large.
The evening will commence at 7.00pm with canapés and arrival fizz taking seats in the Pool House Restaurant to enjoy an evening of some classic Australian dishes designed and prepared by Michael and his team to match with Damon’s wine selection, we look forward to welcoming you to Lympstone Manor for this wonderful and fun evening of food and wine.
