With over two decades of experience across Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and France, Eddie is no stranger to the world of fine wine. He is also the creator and chairman of the Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards, and founder of The Flying Winemaker. His latest project, E. J. McDougall Wines, represents a bold new era in Australian winemaking: collectible, cellar-worthy expressions that champion old vines, celebrated terroirs, and a resolutely low-intervention approach.

This exclusive masterclass offers Members an opportunity to preview wines from the inaugural vintage of E. J. McDougall alongside benchmark examples from leading producers. Guided by Eddie himself, explore the philosophy behind this ambitious project: his pursuit of site expression, use of seasoned large-format oak, and the power of thoughtful restraint in the cellar.

With vineyard sources dating back to 1939 and a philosophy grounded in authenticity and place, this is your chance to experience the future of Australian fine wine – before the rest of the world catches on.

The wines we will taste:

2023 Vasse Felix, Heytesbury, Chardonnay
2024 E. J. McDougall, Margaret River, Chardonnay
2019 Yangarra Estate, High Sands, Grenache
2023 E. J. McDougall, McLaren Vale, Old Vine Grenache
2021 Domaine Yves Cuilleron, Les Côtes, Cornas

Back for a second year, our Chinese wine walkaround returns with even more to discover. China’s wine industry continues its remarkable rise, capturing international attention for its quality, innovation and diversity.

In partnership with Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards, the largest international competition dedicated to Chinese wines, we’re proud to present a selection of over 40 Chinese wines, including an exceptional range of gold-medal-winning labels – many of which have never been seen outside of China.

The walkaround tasting will feature leading names such as Ningxia’s Renyiyuan, whose 2020 Tao Cabernet Sauvignon claimed the title of Best Wine of China, alongside acclaimed wines from Tiansai, Domaine Franco-Chinois, and more. Styles will cover classic grapes alongside some novel Chinese originals, promising to give Members a taste of something brand new.

We invite Members to explore at their own pace and taste some of China’s finest – and rarest – wines, poured by those who know them best. Whether you’re curious or already converted, this is your chance to experience the future of Chinese wine, glass by glass.

Discovering the world’s most interesting wines often requires looking beyond the mainstream. While judging the Wynn’s Signature China Wine Awards earlier this year, Richard’s favourite discoveries were those which showcase China’s lesser-known styles – from a debut traditional method sparkler to a fully mature Marselan.

We start with the trophy-winning Tiansai sparkling white, a single-vintage fizz made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that spends six years on its lees before release. Next, there’s an outrageously aromatic Muscat from Xinjiang, while Château Mihope’s Viognier demonstrates a faithful rendition of this northern Rhône variety. Meanwhile, Petit Mont’s 2023 Cuvée Prestige Chardonnay represents the forefront of China’s top-quality winemaking, confirming Yunnan as one of China’s most promising regions.

Next come three reds: first, a textbook Cabernet Gernischt (aka Carmenère) from Xige Estate, sometimes called the Penfolds of Ningxia. Next, an unexpected Syrah from one of China’s best-known brands, Great Wall, that fully deserves its gold medal. Then, we finish with what might just be the future of Chinese red: a marvellous Marselan, in the shape of the fully mature 2012 vintage from Domaine Franco-Chinois, which provides a glimpse at how well this fringe variety can develop in bottle.

The wines we will taste:

2017 Tiansai Sparkling Wine  
2022 Château Hesoute White Muscat 
2022 Château Mihope Viognier 
2023 Petit Mont Baima Snow Mountain Degin Cuvée Prestige Chardonnay  
2021 Xige Estate Jade Dove Single Vineyard Cabernet Gernischt 
2018 Greatwall Chateau Sungod Syrah 
2012 Domaine Franco-Chinois Reserve Marselan

Some winemakers follow the rules. Matt Dees follows the roots.

Armed with a degree in soil science and an irrepressible curiosity, Matt has carved a reputation as one of California’s most compelling voices in wine. From windswept ridgelines in the Santa Rita Hills to the sandy soils of Ballard Canyon, Matt crafts wines under two distinct labels, The Hilt and Jonata, that share one thing in common: they are uncompromisingly honest expressions of their origins. 

His Chardonnays are taut and mineral-laced, shaped by diatomaceous earth that looks like moon dust. His reds – layered blends of Bordeaux and Rhône varieties – are bold, structured, and complex.

Just 80 kilometres apart, The Hilt and Jonata feel like different planets:

The Hilt offers coastal precision – Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs driven by cool winds, fossil-rich soils, and an almost electric tension. On the other hand Jonata, rooted in ancient marine sands, delivers powerful, tannin-driven reds.

In this masterclass, Matt will lead us through seven standout wines, each shaped by the land, and a winemaker who never stops digging.

The wines we will taste:

2022 The Hilt, Radian Vineyard Chardonnay
2022 The Hilt, Bentrock Chardonnay 
2022 The Hilt, Bentrock Pinot Noir 
2022 The Hilt, Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir
2020 Jonata, Fenix 
2019 Jonata, Todos Proprietary Red Wine
2018 Jonata, El Alma de Jonata

This course offers a thorough understanding of the world’s major wines. By examining the style and quality of all major varieties grown across all major regions – including sparkling, sweet and fortified wines – this course will benefit both engaged enthusiasts and professionals. By following the WSET Systematic Approach, this course teaches a rigorous approach to tasting, allowing candidates to discern differences between wines, both to improve blind tasting ability and to understand the fascinating factors involved in viniculture worldwide.

The course will be tutored by our resident Master of Wine Richard Hemming and Annette Scarfe MW. Throughout the course, we will taste at least 85 classic examples from our extensive list. For full details on the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines, please click here.

This course consists of five sessions of six hours each, plus an examination of two-and-a-half hours. Please note that an additional 51.5 hours of private study is recommended to pass. The fee covers all wines, course materials, classroom time, examination and certification.

On Tuesday 24th June, The Firsts At Fifteen gathers some of Bordeaux’s legendary names for a comparative tasting of the 2010 vintage, now in its peak drinking window at 15 years old.

From the left-bank are all five premiers crus of the 1855 classification: Lafite, Latour, Margaux, Mouton-Rothschild and Haut-Brion. As the lodestar châteaux of Bordeaux, these provide the ultimate reference for what the finest clarets can achieve in a given vintage – and 2010 was among the absolute best.

On the opposite side of the Gironde, three famous names will represent St-Émilion and Pomerol. For the former, Ausone and Cheval Blanc have long been considered every bit the equal of their left-bank rivals, albeit in a different style. Meanwhile for Pomerol, Château Lafleur poured from magnum will reveal the full glory of this small but mighty appellation. (Petrus and Le Pin were of course considered, but would have doubled the ticket price!)

Richard Hemming MW will provide a full analysis of the vintage conditions, as well as the winemaking and critical appraisal for each wine – as well as surveying the room to find out our collective favourites.

The wines we will taste:

2010 Château Margaux
2010 Château Mouton Rothschild
2010 Château Latour
2010 Château Lafite Rothschild
2010 Château Haut-Brion
2010 Château Ausone
2010 Château Cheval Blanc
2010 Château Lafleur (Magnum)

There are SuperTuscans, and then there’s Masseto. Conjured from a single-vineyard of Merlot, this wine quickly became one of the world’s most highly awarded, highly desirable and highly priced wines since its debut in 1986.

Our collection of seven vintages will tell the story of the brand, reflecting how vintage conditions impact the wine while retaining the core identity that has become so renowned. A complete run of five vintages from 2016 to 2012 will be a study in Masseto’s recent history, while the 2004 and 1998 – both served from magnum – will unveil the tongue-boggling complexity that it can achieve with bottle maturity.

Just one of these wines by itself would mark a very memorable evening; tasting a vertical offers an insight that few wine lovers will ever have the chance to enjoy. 

Commentary from Richard Hemming MW will not only include technical information on each vintage, but will uncover the history of Masseto and the central part it plays in the SuperTuscan story.
