Tutorial Wine List

What an amazing week!   248 wines, a couple of beers, not enough sleep, and here’s what the inaugural Landmark Australia Tutorial participants had to say:

• How truly and clearly we see depends on our perspective.  And Landmark has given us a chance to gain an almost unparalleled perspective on the Australian fine wine dimension.  It is a brilliantly devised and near-perfectly executed course in which we’ve been able to access the distilled wisdom of some of the industry greats, while at the same time trying benchmark wines that are rarely, if ever, brought together in this context.  I’m profoundly grateful for the chance to participate in this thrilling exercise. – Jamie Goode, UK
• It’s a wonderful program and I feel as if I learned more in five days than I would in 10 years in Japan! – Yukari Iwashiro, Japan
• In spite of the (quite natural) differences in winemaking philosophy, the message from the industry representatives is clear: We are working together to make the best, most individual wines we can and we want the world to know.  The philosophical differences promote interesting discussions and resulting selection of diverse wine styles. – Barbara Philip MW, Canada
• These days have expanded my horizon on Australian wines dramatically. – Frank Kämmer MS, Germany
• I predict this to become the most sought-after tutorial in the wine world.  Being able to taste and discuss the best wines of Australia with a great number of its leading authorities and winemakers is a privilege.  This Tutorial has opened my eyes to the direction where top Australian wine is going.  - Essi Avellan MW, Finland
• Really excellent – or “Ripper” in the vernacular.  The range of wines and consistency of quality is superb and the historic tasting was a once-in-a-life-time experience.  – Dermot Nolan MW, Ireland
• The Landmark Australia Tutorial is a superb opportunity to learn about and taste through the diversity of Australian wine today–as well as excellent mature wines. The five days went by too fast! - Tyler Colman, Ph.D., USA
• The Landmark Australia Tutorial has been a rare and exciting opportunity to discuss and reflect on the voice of Australian wine’s past, present and future. – Sean Razee MS, USA
• This week has been an excellent learning process and provided a completely new perspective on Australian wines. – Bell Pei-Tang (China)
• I enjoyed the Landmark Australia Tutorial tremendously as it was an absolutely eye-opening experience.  All the maserclasses were extremely well-organised and comprehensive, I have tasted many classical Australian fine wines and learnt so much from the experts.  This is surely a once-in-a-life-time experience. – Rebecca Leung, Hong Kong
• The Landmark Australia Tutorial is an intense and focused wine program. The amount of information and exposure to the vast depth of Australian wines is tremendously beneficial to promoting and marketing Australian fine wines. From the encounter this week, it shows the seriousness of the Australian wine industry in reaching their intended objective, and it will be my pleasure to be of assistance to their efforts in Singapore and the region. - Mr Lim Hwee Peng, CSW
• The opportunity to taste this range of high-quality, meticulously selected wines, and to be able to see the diversity and evolution of style and the specifics of regions thanks to the openness and knowledge and experience of the tutors and speakers, is exceptional. The only downside is that there’s just not enough time to taste the wines and reflect on them, though this is hardly unique to the Tutorial and underlines the fact there is so much to taste and see.” – Julia Harding MW, UK

The week concluded with a single positive affirmation: Australia has a diverse landscape within which a range of wine styles can find a distinctive and convincing expression.  Click here for a copy of the Landmark Australia Tutorial - Full Wine List and Overview.
