Luke and Mac are hosting a masterclass focusing on Macs’ Rieslings and cutting edge EB range. Come along to have a deeper look into these fascinating wines and some delicious snacks.

Riesling has long been a darling of the wine aficionado, producing wines of great complexity, depth & ageing potential. Its’ reputation & popularity have ebbed & flowed over the years, but thankfully it is again in the spotlight. Excellent handling in the hands of experienced growers & makers has forged renewed interest in this wonderfully expressive grape, Mac is very much a forerunner in this revolution. Working with two vineyards in the Strathbogie Ranges, Avenel produces the dry Riesling from granite & pink Quartz soils whist Caveat produces the RS ( Residual Sugar ) Rieslings from granitic, sandy loam soils, the sugar levels determined each season by the startling acidity of the fruit, harmony being the goal. The EB ( Experimental Batch ) range is a project that encourages the staff to seek the unusual & explore the unknown. Embracing what they don’t know or feel comfortable with produces wines that are daring & a little fun, pushing the boundaries and sharing what they feel has been a ‘successful’ experiment.
