AUSTRALIA’S REGIONAL CLASSICS Michael Hill Smith AM MW 1 June 2009

Australia makes some wonderful Regional Classics – wines where region and grape combine to produce a wine style that has regional uniqueness and international relevance. Some of these are traditional classics, others modern classics, but classic nonetheless. This tasting is not intended to be comprehensive but rather to give you a sense of some of these regional classics. REGIONAL CLASSICS
