Rosé isn’t just for summer afternoons and people who wear linen. It’s seriously good wine, and we’re here to prove it.
Join our very own Merrick Watts as he hosts Yarra Valley winemaker Stuart Dudine of Alkimi Wines for a masterclass celebrating just how f**king great rosé can be.
With 20 years of winemaking experience across Australia and Europe, including stints at Henschke, Yarra Yering and Mac Forbes, Stuart knows a thing or two about making exceptional wine.
Together, they’ll pour a killer lineup of rosés, bust a few myths, share a few laughs and show you why pink wine deserves a whole lot more respect.
Whether you’re a rosé tragic or a sceptic who thinks it’s just for the ladies, this one’s for you.
