SECRET CELLAR: Duck and Pinot Noir - Old and Rare Tasmanian Drops

Join us for a special once-only exploration into old and rare Tasmanian Pinot Noir ! Join our sommelier, Antony Anderson (WSET4), for a delightful evening of exploring the history and flavours of six cellared wines, from Tasmania, over a perfectly matched three-course duck-focussed dinner (see the line up below)

Tasmanian Pinot Noir is special due to its cool, maritime climate, which results in a long, slow ripening period for the grapes, developing complex flavours, intense aromatics, and vibrant, refreshing acidity. These wines often exhibit prominent red berry fruit flavours alongside earthy notes and a silky texture with fine-grained tannins. The island's unique, varied soils and many small-scale vineyards also contribute to distinct regional characters and a focus on high quality over quantity, making it a celebrated style in Australia.

Pinot Noir is a classic and highly-rated pairing for duck because its vibrant acidity cuts through the richness of the duck's fatty meat, while its fruity and earthy notes complement the robust flavour of the poultry.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to indulge in these fine wines from Tasmania, 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!
