When in Perth for the first time, what would you do? Well if you love your wines, it's got to be a visit to Margaret River. It has built its reputation as Australia's "mecca" of premium wines. While the region produces less than 3% of Australia's wine, it accounts for more 1/5 of its premium wine.
Margaret River on Tour made its debut in KL at the newly revamped Pullman KLCC on the 24th of August.
It featured 10 brands including Cape Mentelle, Churchview Estate, Flametree, Howard Park, Pierro Margaret River Vineyards, Vasse Felix, Voyager Estate, Woody Nook, and Xanadu for wines, and the Margaret River Distilling Company for a selection of whiskies and gins.
We got to meet winemakers, owners, and producers and VIP guests could also attend the masterclass hosted by a panel of winemakers to learn more about the quality of wines from Margaret River and what makes them unique.
The place was really packed! No surprises there because the entry price was a well-priced RM120 (RM100 for early birds.
Let's all hope they'll be back again next year, and make it bigger!
Thanks for having us, Thirstmag.
