$98.00+ per Member $108.00+ per Guest The Australian wine industry is the world’s fourth largest exporter of wine with approximately 750 million litres a year to the international export market with only about 40% of production consumed domestically. Wine is produced in every state, with more than 60 designated wine regions totalling approximately 160,000 hectares; however Australia’s wine regions are mainly in the southern, cooler parts of the country, with vineyards located in South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland. The wine regions in each of these states produce different wine varieties and styles that take advantage of the particular Terroir such as: climatic differences, topography and soil types. With the major varieties being predominantly Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Semillon, Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc. We are happy to have Michael Sawyer from Atlas Wine Group to share with us his insight on Australian wines. Michael’s experience of the Old World and New World winemaking techniques have lead him to always strive for perfection in every wine he produces. He believes strongly in blending wines from different soils and climates as each contributes its own character to the blend. Michael quietly through his intuition and training goes about improving wines each vintage from the vineyard through to the bottle. Michael receives a host of accolades, winning a number of silver and bronze medals at the International Wine Challenge in 2007, 2008 and 2009. These awards were recently highlighted by James Halliday commending Michael on his experience, skill and winemaking talents in the annual Wine Companion.
