Overview

Step into the world of Riesling with this year's exclusive RIEDEL Masterclass.

The evening begins with Emma Shaw, who will guide a special exploration of the Canberra District's Rieslings. This session offers the rare chance to taste museum wines from the CIRC cellar alongside more recent vintages. Along the way, Emma will highlight the distinct sub-regions within the district, showing how subtle differences in site and climate shape Riesling styles. Together, these wines tell the story of a region that has established itself as one of Australia's most exciting and distinctive destinations for Riesling.

The masterclass continues with Andrea Pritzker MW, one of Australia's leading wine educators. Andrea will lead a rare tasting of the CIRC Museum Collection, featuring past trophy-winning Rieslings that are rarely commercially available. This extraordinary session offers the chance to revisit some of the most celebrated wines from the past two decades—a remarkable journey through history, craftsmanship, and excellence.

More than a tasting, this masterclass is an evening of discovery, knowledge, and celebration. Whether you're a dedicated Riesling enthusiast or someone looking to explore the diversity of this noble grape, you'll leave with fresh perspectives and a deeper appreciation for its artistry.

With outstanding wines, expert presenters, and an atmosphere designed to immerse you in the world of Riesling, this event is not to be missed.
