Workshops 2014 hashtag : #SREWW14

www.santaritaestateseurope.com

On behalf of Santa

Rita Estates, I am

delighted to welcome

you to the third in our

series of South American

WineWorkshops. Today’s

event builds on last year’s

successful tastings and

lectures by reflecting a real commitment

from the wider team at Santa Rita

Estates to add value to the wine industry

through education.

With this commitment in mind we have

listened to a number of requests from

attendees last year and have chosen to

challenge our speakers to expand on the

theme of Cabernet Family Origins. The

aim of the day is put on an educational

varietal tasting using wines from not only

Chile and Argentina but from around the

globe, comparing and contrasting how the

effects of latitude, terroir, viticulture and

winemaking all contribute in sculpting the

final product.

Aligned to the Cabernet Family Origins

will be a discussion on the merits of

Sustainability in the world of wine, a key

driver in the ethos of Santa Rita Estates.

I am thrilled that we are joined again this

year by Mr Brian Croser who has travelled

from Australia especially to attend today’s

session. Our workshops will also see

contributions from Tim Atkin MW and a

number of senior colleagues from the Santa

Rita Estates viticulture and winemaking

team.

As always, I would also like to express my

sincere thanks to Wines of Chile and Wines

of Argentina for their ongoing support.

Both organisations are dynamic in the help

they offer to all levels of the UK & Ireland

wine trade and are a significant partner for

all the wine producers that they represent.

If you would like to access content from

the 2012 and 2013 South American

Wine Workshops this is now available on

www.santaritaestateseurope.com. The

content from today will also be available

on the website from the end of January.

Finally, on behalf of all the Santa Rita

Estates team, may I take this opportunity to

wish you a belated Happy New Year and to

say thank you for taking the time to attend

this workshop, as well as for your continued

interest and partnership with our wines.

I sincerely hope that you enjoy

today’s event.
