This year’s ticket proceeds for our Winter Wine Festival will be donated to, Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation In addition, the ticket proceeds from our Cork Wine Festival will be donated to the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind
The Jack & Jill Foundation provides nursing care and support for children with severe neurological development issues, as well as offering some respite to the parents and families. This could be through home visits from nurses, with practical tips on how to access the services a child will need. Listening to what parents want for their child and making representations on their behalf. Bereavement support and an online forum for parents. Lobbying the Government and the HSE. Jack & Jill also provides direct funding to families, enabling them to buy home respite care to give them a break. The Foundation cannot cure the children. But it can help to alleviate some of the difficulties that exist.
Irish Guide Dogs is Ireland’s national charity dedicated to helping people who are vision impaired and families of children with autism to achieve improved mobility and independence.

ARGENTINA Famous for the Tango, amazing quality beef and great music, Argentina is also home to one of the most trendy grape varieties on the planet – Malbec. It’s not hard to see why Malbec is so popular - bright rich red in colour, ripe plummy fruits with soft and silky tannins can be found in a “drink me now” or “tuck me away for a rainy day” style makes it a very desirable and diverse wine. Mendoza is the most well known region, but Salta is up and coming and a cooler region so perfect for aromatic whites and elegant reds. The quality of the wines from Argentina is undeniable so visit the tables and run through our wines, a quick taste will highlight both the diversity and inherent quality of the Malbec grape.

CHILE There are two key geographical features that define the wines of Chile - the Andes mountain range, the longest continental mountain range in the world, and the Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest ocean in the world. These features influence soil, temperature, altitude, wind, mist and rainfall thus ensuring that Chile is extremely multifaceted in terms of which grapes can grow successfully. Because of this terroir diversity, there are well defined wine growing regions within the country that excel in growing specific grapes. Chile therefore is successfully making a wide array of wines that are typically pure, fruit driven examples of all the international classic grape varieties. Everything from Sauvignon Blanc to Pinot Noir that offer great value every day drinking wines to multi-layered, stylish, world beating quality, cult status wines are available from Chile.

FRANCE Winemaking in France can be traced back to 6th century B.C., so they are well on top of their game at this stage. Home to all of the classic grape varieties, the French wine regions have long been the touchstone for the wines made from these same grapes across the winemaking world. Used to being benchmarked, judged, compared and envied French vignerons continue to press on with their own agenda of striving for excellence and bettering quality in both their vineyard and cellar activities. With such an extensive range of wines available to taste from across France at the festival, it is the perfect opportunity to experiment and compare Bordeaux with Burgundy, the Loire with the Languedoc and the less well-known regions such as Gascony. From Cabernet Sauvignon to Pinot Noir with Sauvignon Blanc in between it is all here this weekend for your journey through France.

GERMANY Germany is home to the noble Riesling grape, it also successfully grows high quality Pinot Noir and other interesting varieties such as the red grape Dornfelder and the white grape Scheurebe. Some vineyard sites are so densely planted or located in such precarious locations, that gentle hand harvesting of the grapes into small traditional baskets is the only option for the growers. The benefit of this is that the grapes arrive at the winery in near perfect condition ready for long cool fermentations which concentrate flavours and aromas. German wines are one of the best kept secrets in the wine trade. Don’t be misled by the fluted bottle shape, the whites range from crisp bone dry styles to unctuous and rich, the reds are elegant, well balanced and pure. German wines age well and so are perfect for tucking away for a few years.

NEW ZEALAND Home of the heroic “All Blacks”, this small country also seriously punches above its weight in wine. Dominated by Marlborough and Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand has taken on the wine world with its exuberant, zesty, exotic take on Sauvignon Blanc. However, don’t stop at Sauvignon, if you are a fan of New Zealand also seek out other aromatic white grape varieties that they do well – Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer, and on the reds Pinot Noir is the hot ticket. Moving further North and therefore slightly warmer, in terms of climate - think about Waiheke Island, which offers complex Chardonnays and structured, powerful reds from Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

PORTUGAL The great fortified and table wines of the Douro continue to stand proudly on the world’s wine stage. However, Portugal is poised to really take off driven by the non-classic areas which are offering modern stylish wine at very accessible prices. Portugal has plenty of interesting native grapes to offer, the sun to ripen these grapes and in some regions cooling sea breezes which are so important for grape aromas and therefore wine aromas. The winemaking is innovative and modern, the wine styles are international but are nuanced with local textures and flavours. We are certainly going to be hearing more about and drinking more Portuguese wines over the next few years – watch this space...

SOUTH AFRICA South Africa is a great option for everyday drinking good value red and white wines as well as more premium single estate wines. Modern Shiraz and Pinotage are supple, fruit driven and not overly tannic. Whilst for the whites, originally from the Loire Valley, the Chenin Blanc grape offers fresh, crisp refreshing wines with a rich creamy mid-palate. Also look out for Sauvignon which is made in a style we love. For the reds, although laden with ripe fruit, the winemaking style is European facing and makes an interesting change. For lovers of fruit but with the elegant definition of acidity as well-integrated tannins South Africa has it all.

SPAIN Cemented on the vinous map by Rioja, modern Spain has much to offer; crisp, dry whites from Galicia made from the Albariño grape to rich robust red wines from Priorat. There are a vast array of styles, grapes and wines available with new upcoming regions emerging. Many wineries are family-owned and have been in the same family for generations so the same passion, knowledge and experience seen in France can also be experienced in Spain. Innovation is also at the forefront of Spain’s wine agenda both in the vineyard and in the wineries, all of which is focused towards improving overall wine quality, and whilst Spain offers great value it also offers stylish high-end wines that are worth investing in.

USA Diverse in climate, terroir and grape varieties, some of the finest wines in the world can be found in the U.S. Whilst some regions are warm and perfect for making juicy, fruity everyday drinking wines, other regions are growing classic grape varieties in top quality vineyards that produce world class wines. Wineries range from tiny boutique/garage wineries to the large scale. Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are well worth seeking out on the tasting table particularly from the cooler regions where elegance and balance are important components in defining the style of these wines. The range on offer at the festival is a mini masterclass and it is well worth tasting through the wines to get to grips with what the U.S. has to offer in terms of style and quality.
