Small scale wine making is vital for its contributions to diversity, sustainability, craftsmanship, and community support in the wine industry. It can be argued that It offers a more intimate and personalised experience for wine enthusiasts while helping to maintain the cultural richness and heritage associated with winemaking. Small wineries are the hidden gems of the wine world, the special finds with multidimensional value. With this in mind I recently sat down with the committee for the Australian Small Winemakers Show, a show dedicated to showcasing the hidden gems of the Australian world. Peter McGlashan, Christopher Doig and David Oag, share the background to the show, and the role it plays in bringing the very special to the surface for the wine word to know. A massive thanks to Peter, Christopher and David for joining me.
