It's time to take your pinot noir to the next level.
This is the opportunity offered to wine growers, with a free masterclass being held in Tumbarumba this month, focusing on the growing demand for premium pinot noir.
An initiative of the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI), the one-day masterclass for 60 participants will be held on Wednesday, October 30, at the Tumbarumba RSL Memorial Hall.
NSW DPI viticultural development officer, Darren Fahey, said it was an opportunity for growers and winemakers to learn valuable lessons from national and international wine specialists, which could be implemented in their businesses.
The masterclass will cover domestic and international markets, pinot noir clones, cluster thinning, the effects of wine aroma, managing vine balance and optimising yield, and pruning for success.
Growers can register for the masterclass with darren.fahey@dpi.nsw.gov.au. Registrations close on Friday, October 25 or when fully subscribed.
