Taste the Evolution of Red Wine in the Hunter Valley

Throughout May, curious red wine lovers can discover what happens as a wine matures.

This is your rare once-a-year opportunity to Saddler’s icon red wine collection. The Bluegrass Vertical Tasting is a guided tasting so you can compare our Bluegrass Collection’s bold new releases with their beautifully aged, cellar-matured counterparts-all in one guided session.

What’s a Vertical Tasting, Anyway?

A vertical tasting lets you experience multiple vintages of the same wine label side by side. At Saddler’s Creek, you’ll sample both current and cellar releases of our iconic Bluegrass reds, so you can see, smell, and taste exactly how time transforms structure, tannins, and flavour.
