Tasting starts at 7pm and Dinner at 8pm
at Harts Hotel & Kitchen
Hosted by Tim Hart
Tickets: £85pp
Theme: Fine white and Red wines from New Zealand
New Zealand is best known for fruit-forward grassy Sauvignon Blanc and appealingly Strawberry fruited Pinot Noir.
Whether or not these styles appeal to you one must admit that New Zealand wines offer a clear “brand image” and a high level of consistency at a moderate price.
The purpose of this tasting is to look beyond these well known areas and investigate the potential of New Zealand to make wines of character and refinement not only with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir but also with Riesling, Chardonnay, Bordeaux Blends and Syrah.
