Old School vs. New School: Australia in Transition

  • The Oenophile Institute 1295 W Spring St Smyrna, GA, 30080 United States (map)

This class is intended for curious drinkers and anyone interested in how regions evolve through the people who shape them..

Australia’s wine identity is not one story—it’s a dialogue between tradition and reinvention. In this comparative tasting, we’ll explore wines from established, heritage-driven producers alongside bottles from modern voices pushing stylistic boundaries.

Through side-by-side pours, we’ll examine how farming philosophy, oak choices, alcohol levels, site selection, and market intent shape expression in the glass. Rather than framing this as old versus better, this class focuses on understanding evolution: how history informs the present, and how today’s producers are redefining what Australian wine can be.
