It is with great pleasure that we can announce our next collaboration series of masterclasses with a fantastic selection of wines. Many of you will be familiar with student of wine and filmmaker Manuel Hornemann who has been a stalwart member of our wine community and classes here at Wine Sentience. Manuel has recently joined the team at Kierdorfwein, who are one of Germany’s premier family-owned specialists in fine wine including a fantastic selection of Burgundies, Rhônes, Italian wines and of course top German estates. Although we are sorry to hear that Manuel will be leaving us, he has organised an amazing set of wines from Kierdorfwein’s cellars specially brought in as a teaser and taster of their vast collection.

With their support and generosity, we are able to offer a series of three classes to taste these wines at a heavily discounted price, especially considering the rarity and esteem of most of these bottles. Across three Mondays, we will cover four of the areas which they specialise in; combining Germany with Piedmont; Burgundy plus a Champagne; and finally the Rhône with one bottle of Banyuls and Rioja for variety! These are large tastings with 15 to 16 wines each, so we will be going through them faster than we normally would, but given the rare opportunity to present and talk about these wines, we jumped at the chance!

Please be aware that he has only imported two bottles of each wine. To account for the possibility of cork taint, we are restricting numbers to a single bottle tasting.

The Burgundy tasting comprises 15 wines including the following highlights;

Domaine Ponsot Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 2006
Laurent Ponsot Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée de l’Aulne 2016
Seguin Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2017

For trade customers, Manuel has also offered 18 bottles selected across the 46 wines which he has brought in, if you wanted to taste a smaller selection of them. Do let us know if this is you and we’ll pass your details on to him for consideration to attend the trade class, which is running on the afternoon of Tuesday 28th November.
