Winestate Magazine will be
conducting a Judging and Promotion of South African wines in Perth (Western
Australia) during 14-16 January, 2015 in conjunction with the Hyatt
Regency Hotel.
South African wineries who wish to export, are invited to submit wine samples to this event and gain an introduction to the Australian (as well as New Zealand and South East Asian) wine buyers’ market.
Winestate and our major sponsor has arranged FREE shipment from SA to Perth including handling charges and taxes.
Wines will feature in a
structured wine show judging over three days, with experienced judges, a number
coming with SA wine experience. Following the judging all wines will be presented at a Winestate subscriber and public tasting at the Perth Hyatt. (400-500 guests will attend). Later in 2015 the wines will
also feature in a tasting in Sydney – Australia’s biggest city and wine buyers’
market.
All wines recommended by the
panel will be featured in Winestate Magazine in a special Wines of South Africa
feature. This issue will be distributed nationally and internationally. Results
will also be supplied to independent importers and wholesalers prior to
publication.
Submission Form is located at http://www.winestate.com.au/lib/pdf/mf2585.pdf (One entry consists of SIX bottles of exactly the same wine – there is no limit to the number of entries a winery can submit).
