Learn — Cellaring: Building a Cellar and Ageing Wines

How best to stock a cellar? Andrew Hardy and Curly Haslam-Coates can help. Spend an hour amassing intel: savvy buys, how to approach ageing and labels to look for. Bring your questions and be guided by two highly respected minds in Australian wine. Hardy, a fifth generation winemaker, made a cabernet judged the world’s best while working for Knappstein Wines in the Clare Valley. Today he’s director of winemaking for WD Wines in Coonawarra and oversees production across its four brands, together with his own label Ox Hardy. Curly Haslam-Coates, meanwhile, completed a Wine & Spirit Education Trust diploma in the UK and then set her sights on returning to Tasmania – a state she had visited briefly after receiving the Vintners Bursary Prize. Today she writes for The Wine Front, appears weekly on ABC Radio Hobart and is an enthusiastic ambassador for local food, drinks and farms. Discover the power of cellaring to take good wine to the next level, and leave confident in the direction for your own collection.
