A day of Shiraz, science and insightful conversations!
Dr Tara Southey joined fellow w**e industry experts at the annual Shiraz SA Technical Workshop and Tasting at Allée Bleue.
One of the highlights was exploring six Australian Shiraz w**es from different w**e-growing regions, tasting the Top 12 winning w**es for 2026, offering a fascinating look at the diversity of w**e styles and the role that regional climate and growing conditions play in shaping them.
The programme brought together engaging discussions on irrigation, Shiraz research, w**e characteristics and the future of the variety.
A big thank you to Shiraz SA for organising such an enjoyable and informative event, to South Africa W**e for their continued support and to all the expert presenters, Dr Keren Bindon, Reinhard Swart, Edmund Terblanche and Dr Jeanne Brand, for sharing their knowledge and making the discussions so valuable.
