Chardonnay, But Not As You Know It

About
This isn’t your standard sit-down, swirl-and-sniff Chardonnay tasting. A wine tasting for wine lovers, students of wine and the deeply curious. This is a tasting you won’t want to miss!
Join Nic Peterkin of L.A.S. Vino and Jay Beeson of Old Bridge Cellars for an evening of exploration, discovery and a fair bit of deliciousness — as we dive deep into the world of Margaret River Chardonnay.
Together we’ll explore:
-
The power of place — how dirt, sun and sea breeze shape the way chardonnay looks, smells and tastes. Looking at new single vineyard Chardonnay’s from L.A.S. Vino.
-
The gear — how barrels, concrete eggs, amphoras and other bits and pieces leave their fingerprint on the final wine.
-
A sneak peek at the future — barrel samples from the 2025 vintage, poured for the very first time anywhere in Australia, looking at Chardonnay straight from the source.
On the lineup:
-
Fresh-off-the-boat 2024 L.A.S. Vino releases — The first tasting in Australia of the new L.A.S. Vino release. Including the 3 new L.A.S. Vino Chardonnays and alternatives to chardonnay like Chenin Blanc. All new release L.A.S. Vino wines will be available for tasting.
-
Barrel samples of 2025 Margaret River Chardonnay (young, raw, and showing all their cards), Looking at different vineyards and vessels.
-
Some proper classics — Pierro Chardonnay and Fire Gully Chardonnay (wines from Nic’s family vineyards). A few historical releases from both vineyards.
This is the kind of tasting we dream about — wines straight from the barrel, stories straight from the source and a room full of curious minds. You will taste up to 14 amazing wines, including some reds to finish to round out the evening. Grazing plates to match with wines included.
