SECRET CELLAR LUNCH: Old & Rare Shiraz (up to 18yo wines)
About this Event
SECRET CELLAR LUNCH:
A Journey into Old & Rare Shiraz
Join us for a special once-only exploration into old and now rare Shiraz ! Join our sommelier, Antony Anderson (WSET4), for a delightful afternoon of exploring the history and flavours of six cellared wines, over a perfectly matched four-course lunch (see the line up below).
This particular event focuses on the concept of aging wine, and shows how even medium-priced wines can develop into excpetional wines when cellared properly.
Shiraz is special due to its bold, full-bodied, and opulent style, featuring concentrated dark fruit flavours like blackberry and plum, along with notes of chocolate, coffee, and spice. Its uniqueness also stems from old vine heritage, ancient soils, and a long tradition of winemaking expertise. This combination results in wines with a powerful yet velvety texture, ripe tannins, and significant aging potential.
Shiraz is a classic and highly-rated pairing for beef because its silky tannins cut through the richness of the rich beef fat meat, while its plush berry and spice notes complement the robust flavour of the meat.
Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to indulge in these fine old wines from the Barossa Valley, and expand your palate and wine knowledge - come share your favourite wine stories! The event will be held at Life's Too Short Bar located in Tribeca Arcade, Victoria Parade, East Melbourne VIC, Australia.
Grab your ticket and get ready to sup, sip, savour, and socialise in a cosy atmosphere surrounded by fellow wine enthusiasts.
See you there!
