A truly extraordinary tasting of an iconic Australian estate – Henscke. Their Hill of Grace Shiraz is now reckoned to be Australia’s finest single vineyard Shiraz and I believe it has outperformed the legendary Penfolds Grange in recent years – earning a £500/bottle price point in the process.

We will taste through eight wines with an average price over £100/bottle, and enjoy a three course meal at the wonderful Bacco restaurant in Richmond.

Louis Semillon 2017 Eden Valley
