AUSTRALIAN COOL CLIMATE WINE SHOW 2014 WELCOME TO THE MURRUMBATEMAN WINERY
In 1999, the Australian Cool Climate Wine Show was born out of the vision and commitment of a small band of local Murrumbateman region grape growers and winemakers. We aimed to create a wine show that was dedicated to benchmarking the unique wine styles produced from cool climate wine regions.
