I’m Lawrence Francis, Host of Interpreting Wine the place to learn from thought leaders in the world of wine and marketing, welcoming you to a specially commissioned episode with Peter Dillon, Chief Winemaker at Handpicked Wines.  They make regionally expressive and site specific wines not only from vineyards in Australia but also from around the world. Today we really focus in on Australia, in what I’m sure is some of the most detailed content anywhere talking about the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula. The three wines we tried today as well as two others will be available to try at The London Wine Fair from Tuesday 7th to Thursday 9th June. Handpicked Wines will be in the Wines Unearthed section at stand X114a. They’re actively seeking importation into the UK, so do stop by to taste if you’re heading to the fair.     Intro to Handpicked Wines   Origin Story   Peter’s day to day role   Handpicked Wines’ vineyard acquisitions   Australian wine perceptions in 2022   Winemaking culture   Wine 1: Regional Selections Pinot Noir 2018, Yarra Valley   Highbow Hill to Wombat Creek virtual journey   Geology of the two vineyards and the wider Yarra Valley   Winemaking in regional series   Wine 2: Single Vineyard, Chardonnay 2018, Yarra Valley   2018 vintage    Wine 3: Collection, Pinot Noir 2019, Mornington Peninsula   Mornington Peninsula geology   Handpicked Wines viticulture overview   Sustainable approaches   Handpicked at the London Wine Fair 2022 If you know someone who would enjoy this episode please share the direct link: www.interpretingwine.com/471 Intro and outro musicThe New Investorshttp://newinvestors.dk/Contact: glenn@velournet.dk GUEST CONTACT: Peter Dillon, Handpicked Wines https://www.handpickedwines.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/handpickedwines Date recorded: 19 May 2022 Listen and subscribe: www.interpretingwine.com  CONTACT ME: Email: hello@interpretingwine.com Instagram: https://www.interpretingwine.com/instagram Facebook: https://www.interpretingwine.com/facebook Twitter: https://www.interpretingwine.com/twitter Linkedin: https://www.interpretingwine.com/linkedin Clubhouse: https://www.interpretingwine.com/clubhouse
