Senior Winemaker Rauri Donkin to attend the 2018 Len Evans Tutorial
Congratulations are in order for our Senior Winemaker, Rauri Donkin, who has been selected to attend this year’s Len Evans Tutorial.
Rauri will join 11 other scholars in what James Halliday described as “the most exclusive wine school in the world.”
The annual Tutorial runs for a week in the Hunter Valley and invites a range of Australia’s most elite wine professionals to enhance their wine knowledge and appreciation. Great, old and rare wines are opened, sampled and critiqued so scholars can learn the demands of wine show judging and quality.
