Another busy weekend in Sydney with Wine judging at the Australasian Biodynamic and Organic Wineshow, followed by showcasing Lethbridge Wines at the inaugural Rootstock Wine Festival Sydney, an event the brought together over thirty artisan wineries from around the world, along with some of Australia's most interesting and unique farmers, producers, chefs, sommeliers, writers and thinkers as well as a hipster crowd who share common philosophies on sustainability and authenticity.
The event was a great success and an opportunity for both Ray and Alex to try some uber cool wines such as Guisseppe Renaldi's Barolo, Radikon from Fruili, an orange coloured skin contact Pinot Gris and a delicious Bobar Yarra Valley shiraz made using carbonic maceration.
Overall take home message was that there are some really interesting and delicious wines made using organic and biodynamic philosophies.
