Freethewine.com presents a chat with Brian Croser, chief judge at the 2006 Margaret River Wine Show. Located in the south west of Australia, Margaret River only crushes about 3 per cent of the national crush, however it contributes over 20 per cent of Australia’s fine wine market.
Brian Croser, Petaluma founder, mentor to winemaking students, and visionary winemaker, is one of the leaders of the Australian wine world. In 2004, he was Decanter’s Man of the Year.
Charlotte O’Beirne talks with Brian about the show results, viticulture, and the future of wine in Australia. Many thanks to Richard Rowe and the Margaret River Wine Industry Association for allowing us access to judges.
Duration: about 8mins.
