[VIC] SA Great! A 67 Pall Mall showcase of South Australian wine

SA Great! – A 67 Pall Mall showcase of South Australian wine. 

Join 67 Pall Mall for a spectacular wine walkaround showcasing 24 of South Australia’s most exciting producers, from legacy leaders to modern mavericks.  Taste your way across this extraordinary landscape, meet the people who tend the vines, fill the barrels, and pour the wines, and immerse yourself in the past, present, and future of one of the world’s most dynamic wine regions.

South Australia isn’t just the engine room of Australian wine; it’s a treasure trove of ancient vines, groundbreaking viticulture, and some of the most compelling Rhône varieties on the planet. With a lineage stretching back to the 1800s, this is a region where history and innovation collide – where Shiraz reigns, Riesling crackles with acidity, and Grenache thrives in gnarly old bush vines on sandy soils.

From the slate-driven, dry Rieslings of Clare and Eden Valleys to the structured Cabernets of Coonawarra’s legendary Terra Rossa, South Australian wine is a masterclass in terroir-driven diversity. McLaren Vale’s vineyards give us sultry, perfumed Grenache, while Barossa’s Shiraz tells a story of power and poise in every glass. And beyond the classics, a new wave of winemakers is pushing the boundaries, experimenting with site, clone, and technique to redefine what’s possible.

In conjunction with the SA Great! Walkaround guests have the opportunity to join us for Terra Rossa Tomorrow – a special panel discussion hosted by Nick Ryan, exploring the future of South Australian wine through the lens of its most dynamic voices.

Please note that The Terra Rossa Tomorrow panel is a separately ticketed event to the SA Great! Walkaround on the same evening.

One of Australia’s most recognized wine regions, Coonawarra has long held a stellar reputation for red wine production. With changes to global temperatures, drinking trends and a new generation of winemakers, there are some unique challenges to the winemakers and families of the region.

Hosted by Australian wine writer and communicator, Nick Ryan, this panel tasting and discussion will look at the future of Coonawarra and how winemakers and growers view the region’s strengths, challenges and advantages. Panelists Sue Hodder (Wynns), Maddie LeMire (Balnaves) and Joe Cory (Zema Estate) will speak on sustainability, winemaking and viticulture, challenging preconceptions on the region in a lively discussion fueled by six exemplary wines.
