Yet over the past twenty years, Australia's finest producers have quietly established themselves among the grape's greatest interpreters, crafting wines of complexity and longevity. Wines from regions such as Margaret River, Beechworth and the Yarra Valley now regularly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with great examples from Burgundy in comparative tastings – or do they?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoin us for an exceptional benchmarking tasting as we taste ten great Chardonnays from Australia, New Zealand and Burgundy in a fascinating exploration of terroir, winemaking philosophy and regional expression.
