If you follow any kind of wine news, you might have read that Australian winemakers have enjoyed a particularly successful harvest this year, giving the country’s 2018 wines a little extra potential to be fantastic. 

The growing period in Victoria’s Yarra Valley was helped by significant rainfall and yields were reportedly up by around 20%, allowing for more selective fruit removal. The cool weather experienced in this region also allowed for great acid retention, so produce from here is set to be especially good this year. This, in turn, is fantastic news for both us as well as for you because our upcoming Australian wine tour will travel from the Mornington Peninsula and southern Tasmania, to the fantastic Yarra Valley, enabling you to experience this season’s wonderful harvest for yourself…
