I’m Lawrence Francis, Host of Interpreting Wine the place to learn from thought leaders in the world of wine and marketing, welcoming you to a specially commissioned episode with Peter Dillon, Chief Winemaker at Handpicked Wines.
They make regionally expressive and site specific wines not only from vineyards in Australia but also from around the world. Today we really focus in on Australia, in what I’m sure is some of the most detailed content anywhere talking about the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula.
The three wines we tried today as well as two others will be available to try at The London Wine Fair from Tuesday 7th to Thursday 9th June. Handpicked Wines will be in the Wines Unearthed section at stand X114a. They’re actively seeking importation into the UK, so do stop by to taste if you’re heading to the fair.
