Tasting at Home - Rhone versus New World

If you are a fan of smooth, full bodied reds, then this online wine class is for you. The classic wine region of the Rhone Valley is home to the beautiful Syrah grape. The styles of wines are rather different between the Northern and Southern Rhone, which you will discover through tasting wines such as the famous Chateauneuf du Pape.The South of France has a wonderful Mediterranean climate which is not just fantastic for holidaying in, but also great for growing ripe grapes with bag loads of flavour. We will journey through this region, renowned for the quality and affordability of its wine and compare them to the powerhouses of new world reds, like bold spicy (and boozy) Australian Shiraz. Which will you prefer? All in all a fantastic opportunity to taste exciting wines and discover those you like best. Challenge the way you think about wine - for ever!  Key Details: Wine is not included but we will recommended wines to try during the tasting session, however these are not mandatory and can be substituted with wines of your choice from the region or grape variety.
