Events

Our Melbourne tasting events are held in Division D of the historic bluestone Pentridge Prison that was established in 1857. Since the prison’s decommissioning in 1997 and sale by the Victorian Government in 1999, the prison cells in D Division have been converted into prestige climate-controlled wine cellars. A great opportunity to visit this historic site and enjoy a Sanguine wine tasting.

In this unique insight into the world of Sanguine Shiraz, Mark will present you with a selection of wine samples extracted from barrels that day. Mark will then tutor you on how to blend an award winning wine taking into consideration the important role of tannins, oak, acid, fruit, depth, length and mouth feel so that you have all the tools necessary to formulate your very own wine blend.
