Join us at Le Pont for a special masterclass with Tessa Brown, winemaker and co-founder of Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown, as we explore some of the most exciting high-altitude wines coming out of Beechworth and the King Valley.
Founded by Tessa Brown and Jeremy Schmölzer, Vignerons Schmölzer & Brown is a small, family-run winery based in Beechworth, Victoria. With a focus on high-altitude vineyards, thoughtful viticulture and minimal-intervention winemaking, they produce wines that reflect the unique character of this cool-climate region.
From their estate-grown Thorley wines to the neighbouring Brunnen vineyard and the Riesling vineyards of Whitlands, their range offers a fascinating look at the diversity of these high-altitude sites.
For this masterclass, Tessa will guide us through a selection of wines, sharing insights into the vineyards, the challenges of growing grapes at altitude, and the philosophy behind their winemaking.
A great opportunity to meet the winemaker, explore the different expressions of Beechworth and the King Valley, and discover what makes Schmölzer & Brown such an interesting producer.
