The 2009 Australia / New Zealand Organic Wine Show
The Australia / New Zealand Organic Wine Show is the only annual organic wine show dedicated to the judging and promotion of certified organic and biodymanic wines from Australia and New Zealand.
Showcasing the diversity, regionality and quality of organic wines, it aims to help the organic wine sector carve a larger niche for itself in the shelves of the wine trade and in the knowledge base of wine connoisseurs.
History of the Show
The creation of an organic wine show was the long held dream of Sam Statham, owner and producer of Rosnay Organic Wines. He believed that organic and biodymanic wines should have a benchmark to be measured against and one that was in-keeping with conventional wines. Sam's idea was turned into reality over a cup of coffee with Lena and Mary of Smeaton Hackett Events , creators and organisers of the Organic Expo, and so the Australia / New Zealand Organic Wine Show was born.
