The Signature Series
A premium tasting of the Great Southern’s most distinguished wines
The Signature Experience represents the pinnacle of the Great Southern Sip tasting collection, an immersive journey through the wines, vineyards and producers that have helped define the reputation of the Great Southern as one of Australia's most exciting fine wine regions.
Including a generous selection of local cheeses, charcuterie, artisan biscuits and regional produce is included for everyone to share.
Featuring a carefully curated selection of eight exceptional wines, this experience focuses on the bottles that truly mean business… benchmark examples of their variety, wines with proven pedigree, critical acclaim, show success and a reputation for excellence. These are the wines that have shaped conversations, earned recognition from judges and critics, and continue to demonstrate why the Great Southern is regarded among Australia's finest cool-climate wine regions.
Each wine has been selected not only for its quality, but for its ability to tell a story of place. From the purity of world-class Riesling and Chardonnay to the elegance of Pinot Noir and the structure of Great Southern Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, guests will explore the vineyards, soils, climates and winemaking decisions that contribute to wines of distinction and longevity.
Throughout the experience we delve deeper into the factors that separate good wines from truly exceptional wines .....examining vineyard site, vine age, seasonal conditions, viticultural practices, winemaking philosophy, collectability, cellaring potential and regional identity. Global comparisons provide additional context, allowing guests to better understand how the Great Southern sits alongside many of the world's leading cool-climate wine regions.
Designed for engaged wine lovers, collectors, enthusiasts and those seeking a more advanced understanding of fine wine, the experience combines guided discussion, blind tasting elements, comparative analysis and palate-focused challenges that encourage guests to think critically while enjoying the wines in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Where available, selected experiences may also feature a guest appearance from a winemaker or producer, offering rare first-hand insight into the decisions, challenges and philosophies behind the wines being poured.
A beautiful selection of local cheeses, artisan charcuterie, fresh breads, house-made accompaniments and seasonal regional produce is included as part of the experience.
