Adelaide 🇦🇺🍷A masterclass on Australian w Adelaide 🇦🇺🍷A masterclass on Australian wine. As always, I wasn’t just tasting. I was observing.

How origin shapes expectation.

How storytelling elevates flavour.

How regional identity becomes part of the sensory experience.

Australian wine is a fascinating case study in positioning, perception, and premiumization. What we “taste” is deeply intertwined with what we believe.

It’s in your mind.

Grateful to be learning, tasting, and thinking about wine from the other side of the world 🌏
