SuperTuscan SuperTasting: Masseto back to 1998
Wednesday 23rd July
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.
The wines we will taste:
2016 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
2015 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
2014 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
2013 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
2012 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia
2004 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia (Magnum)
1998 Masseto, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia (Magnum)


Cin Cin – A Women’s Social
Saturday 26th July
We’re keeping the spirit of Cin Cin alive, quite literally. Our women’s social returns with the same fabulous format: free-flowing wines, delicious cocktails, and great conversation. But for this edition, we’re shaking things up (in more ways than one).
We’ll be featuring three specially crafted gin cocktails from Bass & Flinders, plus a cheeky blind tasting challenge. You’ll get one attempt to taste and match three gins to their descriptions – but only the first three clever palates to get them all right will walk away with a prize.
This month, we invite you to come dressed in your favourite shades of red wine – think garnet or ruby (or even a purple) – and get ready to raise a glass to great company. Whether you’re here for the cocktails, the challenge, or just a good laugh with fellow Members, Cin Cin promises an evening that’s spirited in every sense.
About Bass & Flinders
Hailing from the coastal vineyards of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, Bass & Flinders Distillery crafts premium spirits from vine to bottle, using a French-inspired eau de vie base spirit distilled from local Victorian wine.


Nikolaihof: From Roman Cellars to Riesling Icons
Thursday 31st July
Join us for an evening with Nikolaus Saahs, owner of Nikolaihof, Austria’s oldest wine estate and one of the world’s pioneers of biodynamic viticulture. Situated in the Wachau and housed in a former Roman fort, wine has been made on this site since Celtic and Roman times, with the first written reference dating back to 470 A.D. Over the centuries, the estate has served as a Roman stronghold, a religious centre, and the administrative seat of the St Nikola Monastery – and through it all, the vines have endured.
Today, the Saahs family continues this legacy with remarkable integrity: spontaneous fermentations, no additives, and wines aged slowly in 350-year-old oak casks set within a Roman crypt. Releases happen only when the wine is ready – sometimes a decade or more later.
This tasting offers Members an opportunity to explore Nikolaihof’s capacity for age and evolution. We begin with the vibrancy of the 2023 Aus den Gärten Grüner Veltliner Federspiel and the precise, mineral expression of the 2019 Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel, before moving into more textural territory with the 2016 Vom Stein Federspiel Late Release and the 2015 Baumpresse Riesling, pressed using a 200-year-old wooden press.
Then we step into the world of long-aged Nikolaihof: the 2008 Vinothek Riesling, a cult bottling aged over 12 years in large cask without sulphur, and finally, the centrepiece – 1988 Elisabeth Tradition, drawn directly from the family’s private cellar.
This is a rare chance to experience nearly four decades of Wachau winemaking in one sitting, guided by the family steward of one of Austria’s most iconic estates.
The wines we will taste:
2023 Nikolaihof Aus den Gärten Grüner Veltliner Federspiel
2019 Nikolaihof Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel
2016 Nikolaihof Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel Late Release
2015 Nikolaihof Baumpresse Riesling
2008 Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling
1988 Nikolaihof Elisabeth Tradition


Sunset Sizzle: A National Day BBQ
Saturday 2nd August
We’re firing up the grill and the good times just in time for Singapore’s 60th birthday. Join us on the Saturday before National Day for a laid-back backyard-style barbecue with front-row views of the flypast from the Garden Bar.
On the grill: a glorious whole lamb on the spit, smoky beef brisket, sticky BBQ wings, lemongrass-marinated pork jowl, and a vibrant line-up of barbecued vegetables.
Your ticket includes two whisky cocktails mixed specially for the occasion – a refreshing tropical highball and a zingy peach sour – the perfect pairings for all that fire and smoke. And as the sun sets, DJ Itch will hit the decks with a vinyl set spinning rare grooves from across Asia to keep the vibes sizzling well into the night.
Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come ready to sizzle.
What’s sizzling:
Whole Spit-Roasted Lamb
Smoked Beef Short Ribs
Sticky BBQ Wings
Garlic & Pepper Toulouse Sausage
Spicy Italian Sausage
Pork Jowl Sliders
Garden on the grill:
Grilled White Corn
Roasted Sand Carrots
Charred Broccolini
Seared Zucchini
Smoky Butternut Pumpkin


00 Wines with the Hermanns
Monday 4th August
They call it Double Zero, but don’t be fooled – there’s nothing minimal about the ambition (or flavour) of 00 Wines.
Founded by Chris and Kathryn Hermann in 2015, 00 Wines has built a quiet cult following for its focused, site-driven Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from Oregon, Burgundy, and Champagne. The name “00” reflects their commitment to precision, patience, and doing things the hard way – by hand, and by heart.
Chris brings decades of experience as a wine industry advisor and a deep appreciation for Burgundy and Mosel Riesling. Kathryn, with a background in tech and design, brings structure, creativity, and an eye for detail – a blend that shows in the wines.
This tasting, led by the Hermanns themselves, features their 2022 vintage: the VGW and EGW Chardonnays (Very Good White and Extra Good White), the nuanced Kathryn Hermann Cuvée, and a trio of Pinot Noirs from Seven Springs, Shea, and Stardance vineyards, each showing a different facet of the Willamette Valley…
The wines we will taste:
2022 00 Wines VGW Chardonnay
2022 00 Wines EGW Chardonnay
2022 00 Wines Seven Springs Chardonnay
2022 00 Wines Kathryn Hermann Cuvée Chardonnay
2022 00 Wines VGR Pinot Noir

Hunt the Burgundy with Richard Hemming MW
Tuesday 5th August
We’re going on a Burg hunt, we’re going to catch some big ones. But can you tell which is which among such a stellar lineup?
Join us to sniff out three top-rated Burgundies that are hiding among some excellent Pinot Noirs from Germany, California, Switzerland, New Zealand and Australia. All the wines are from the 2021 vintage, and will be served semi-blind so that we can analyse the style and quality to draw our own conclusions.
Serious credibility is at stake! The three burgundies are incredibly well respected: Taupenot-Merme’s village-level Gevrey-Chambertin, Prieuré Roch’s legendary Clos Des Corvées monopole from Nuit-St-Georges, and the grand cru Clos de la Roche from Didier Amiot.
The wines we will taste:
2021 Domaine Taupenot-Merme, Gevrey-Chambertin
2021 Domaine Prieuré Roch, Nuits-Saint-Georges, 1er Cru Clos des Corvées Monopole
2021 Domaine Didier Amiot, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
2021 Weingut Rudolf Fürst, Schlossberg, Grosses Gewachs, Spätburgunder
2021 Domaine de la Cote, Memorious, Pinot Noir
