The Institute of Masters of Wine is delighted to host this significant seminar and tasting of wines from Austria and Hungary in London on 12 October, organised in partnership with its supporters the Austrian Wine Marketing Board, Wines of Hungary and the Esterházy Foundation.
Taking place at the residence of the Austrian Ambassador in London (18 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X 8PX), the event will run from 10am to 1pm and will be followed by a buffet lunch prepared by the Esterházy winery's chef, accompanied by a selection of Austrian and Hungarian wines, from 1pm to 2.30pm.
Willi Klinger, Managing Director of the Austrian Wine Marketing Board, and Richárd Nemes of Wines of Hungary will each give an overview of their country’s winemaking. Elisabeth Kamper of the Esterházy Foundation will provide additional commentary on the family’s role as a key link between both winemaking traditions.
A tasting and panel discussion, moderated by Elizabeth Gabay MW, will follow, comprising three themed flights with one winemaker or merchant representing each country per flight as listed below.
