Wednesday 1 October from 6:30pm to 9:30pm
The International is delighted to extend an invitation to an elegant long-table wine dinner in The Grill, hosted by Phil Hutchinson – award-winning Senior Winemaker of founding Margaret River winery, Leeuwin Estate – who boasts previous vintages in the Rhône, Bordeaux, and the Hunter Valley.
With more international accolades than almost any other Australian winery, Leeuwin Estate is led by three generations of the founding family and has stood at the forefront of Australian fine wine since the 1970s. The Estate’s Art Series Chardonnay – hailed by James Halliday as Australia’s finest example of Chardonnay – continues to lead Margaret River’s vinous heritage.
This exclusive evening will see Leeuwin Estate winemaker Phil Hutchinson personally pour and tell the stories behind selected new releases from the storied estate, alongside the premium Art Series classics that the winery is most famous for. Through his measured, terroir-driven philosophy, a few select guests will have the opportunity to discover how Leeuwin balances finesse, texture, and longevity.
Join us around an intimate long table in The Grill for a thoughtfully paired menu and a chance to taste some of Australia’s most celebrated wines.
