The International Cool Climate Wine Show is recognised as Australia’s foremost show for inspirational cool climate wines. The Mornington Peninsula boasts some of the best Cool Climate wine in the world, making it a perfect venue for an international show.
The 17th International Cool Climate Wine Show runs from may 22 – 29, with a Public Tasting on May 22 and the Awards Presentation Dinner on May 26. Buy your tickets now at coolclimatewineshow.org.au
Each year the ICCWS attracts more than 600 wines in 42 classes, including new Italian classes thanks to a recent partnership with the Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Entries are open until Friday, March 10. This is an opportunity to benchmark in a show where like is judged against like, where elegant wines with restrained fruit are seen at their best, and where diversity is encouraged and rewarded.
The public can access these wines at the Public Tasting and at the Awards Dinner to be held at the recently renovated Mornington Racecourse. At these events, you can explore wines from 2013 (and older vintages in some classes), compare wines of the same grape variety from different regions, or focus on wines from specific regions or vintages.
Tickets for the Master Class, held in Melbourne at William Angliss, are strictly limited. Chair of judges, Meg Brodtmann MW, will present the gold medal and trophy winning wines, along with her personal selection of unusual, interesting and trend-setting wines.
