Welcome to the Annual Tasting 2017

Andrew Bewes writes…Welcome to our 2017 wine tasting.

As a wine specialist, we are proud to have more than 700 wines on show. While we don’t expect you to taste everything, we have ensured there really is something for everyone: from the classic regions of the old and new world, to some exciting esoteric alternatives.

Our tasting is designed to help you prepare an unbeatable wine list for the coming year and to establish a point of difference from your competitors. We have assembled our teams, producers and winemakers from across the globe to guide you through each table’s unique offering and to ensure you taste the wines that are best suited to your business.

We look forward to sharing our passion and expertise with you today to help you shape your wine offering for the year ahead.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask one of our team.

Steve Daniel writes…We are always looking for interesting new wines and producers to enhance our extensive range and have been busy over the past year looking for even more awesome producers to work with.

To complement our extensive Greek range and help fulfil the increasing demand for Greek wines, we have added three Cretan wines from Idaia Winery made from the island’s indigenous grape varieties. The wines are mineral, saline and intense and truly expressive of the terroir of Crete.

Southern Italy, in particular Sicily, is an area we have been looking at developing to provide our customers with a greater choice at a wider range of price points. We have taken on the boutique winery on Etna, Santa Maria La Nave and leading organic producer, Colomba Bianca, which do just that.

For some time we had been looking to extend our Australian offering to better showcase the regionality of the country and we have been lucky to find exactly what we were looking for in a group of premium Australian producers. Amelia Jukes (of the former Hallowed Ground) is here today showcasing the wines from clos Clare, Eden Road, Fox Gordon, Laissez Faire, Lake Breeze, Ocean Eight, Paringa Estate, Ravenswood Lane, Teusner and Ulithorne.

With the continuing buzz surrounding Argentina, we are really excited to start working with the Michelini brothers. Zorzal Wines from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, is one of Argentina's most outstanding vine growing valleys with the talented Michelini brothers at the helm.

Boasting over 42 years’ experience, Olivier Ravier is one of the most iconic and respected winemakers in Beaujolais and we’re thrilled to be bringing his wines to the table today.

We hope you have a brilliant day at our tasting and that you and your customers enjoy our range.

| 3Whats On

What's On

The Main Event:More than 700 wines on show from over 100 sensational producers, there really is something for everyone.

Wines by the Glass:Often the ‘go-to’ wines on a restaurant list, these have been selected for their purity of fruit, expressiveness and character. Taste our extensive range on the tables to your left as you enter the hall.

Wine Trails:Navigating your way through a fine collection of wines is no mean feat and it can be very easy to lose your way. For this reason, we have compiled a selection of thought-provoking wine trails to help you find your way around the room and taste wines that excite you.1. Natural WinesNatural, organic, biodynamic and sustainability are the current buzz words in the wine industry and are set to become front of mind for the consumer in 2017. This trail will open your eyes to the wines that are leading the way in natural wine production.2. Family EstatesThere is nothing more important than family, not just in life, but also in wine. These wines are produced by whole families, siblings, children and sometimes winemakers who can date their estate back generations. 3. Mediterranean WinesOur wines take you from the old world, to the new world, and even to the ancient world. The Mediterranean comprises some of the world’s oldest vines, growing some of the most unforgettable (and hardest to pronounce) grape varieties. This trail will guide you through öküzgözü, to agiorgitiko, to zibibbo. 4. New WinesSince our last Annual Portfolio Tasting we have added 100 new wines to our portfolio, with producers joining our list from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley, the slopes of Mount Etna and every corner of Australia. This trail will show you a handful of those you shouldn’t miss out on.

On the Mezzanine:Enjoy a coffee from Ristretto and take the weight off in the informal meeting space.

Lunch:Will be served in the North Annexe between 12.30 and 14.30.

Social Media:Send us your best picture or video on Instagram or Twitter (@hdnwines) and the best from each day will win a magnum of Champagne Moutard Grand Cuvée.

Carpené Malvolti 3

Giorgio PancieraAntonio Carpené founded his winery in 1868. A qualified chemist, in contact with Pasteur and Koch, he was convinced that a wine as good as Champagne could be produced in Italy. He applied his knowledge to the Prosecco grape (now known as Glera), the majestic variety of the Conegliano and Valdobbiadene zone. Over 130 years of history are testament to Carpené Malvolti’s dedication to quality.

FRAN

CE

FranceIf asked to choose just one country from which we had to source all our wines, how many of us would choose France?

Our strong French range backs up this sentiment, offering a heady concoction of world class wine from entry level through to exclusive and premium Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône.

They released their first vintage in 2001 quickly establishing themselves as a benchmark Alvarinho producer. This aromatic variety has been well known locally for centuries but it is only recently that Alvarinho is becoming more appreciated by consumers outside the domestic market. Alvarhino expresses its full potential in the Moncao sub-region of Vinho Verde, showing aromatic complexity and a wonderful combination of fresh fruit and floral notes.

Hugonell 50

Javier de SalinasAldeanueva de Ebro (“new hamlet of the Ebro”) rises against the wind on the plateau that runs from the slopes of Mount Yerga to the River Ebro. The vineyards contain different types of soils —pebble and clay— at widely varying altitudes, which, together with intensive sun exposure and low rainfall, define the vineyards of Aldeanueva, offering great potential for quality grapes, characterized by their intense colour, medium-high alcohol and great health. The growers of this area produce the Hugonell Joven. The Ondarre winery, 10km from Logrono, the Riojas capital, is the specialist division of The Bodegas Olarra Group for producing Crianza and Reserva wines. The Bodegas Olarra Group has worked for years at the forefront of wine producing initiatives. We work with Olarra/Ondarre on Hugonell Crianza and Reserva.

Larry CherubinoNamed ‘Winery of the Year’ by James Halliday and Matt Skinner, Larry Cherubino wants his wines to be distinctive and to speak clearly of their variety and vineyard site. He believes in canopy and water management, and most importantly, picking at the right time with minimal intervention in the winery. From delicate whites to big reds, his wines have class and finesse. He also makes wine under the Laissez Faire name. These are a range of natural wines, and they are the ultimate expression of natural winemaking made in small batches from hand-harvested grapes.
