Taste with the Winemaker Event ~ Anna Martens of Vino di Anna

We are so excited to be welcoming Anna Martens of Vino di Anna for an exclusive ‘Taste with the Winemaker’ event on Wednesday, 27th November!

Anna, (and her husband Eric Nairoo) make incredible wines on the slopes of Mt Etna in Sicily, and I had the very great privilege of visiting their vineyards and winery, and joining their end of harvest party on my recent trip in October.

Anna and Eric are committed to making wines of place, that reflect the singular site of Etna (they're on the North-Eastern side near Solicchiata) with its volcanic soils, warm, dry climate, and varietals that are expressive and bright, that blend well together. They built a Quevry room in the early 2000's ~ an ancient Georgian winemaking style, where ceramic/clay pots are 'planted' underground and hold the wine through fermentation and aging. This is great for temperature control, and is a neutral material so it doesn't add any secondary characteristics to the wines (like oak does). It allows the wines to breathe, but keeps them fresh and really enhances the zippy minerality.

Anna, a South Australian by birth, and Eric also make wine in the Adelaide Hills, a label called 'Nord-Sud' ~ a nod to their winemaking spanning both hemispheres. I can't wait to share with you their wines of Etna, and of the Adelaide Hills.

We welcome you to book anytime from 5.30pm. Don’t miss this chance to taste Anna's incredible selections and hear her stories table-side, you're in for a real treat!
