Unearth new Australian gems at London Wine Fair

Australian wineries will travel en-masse to the UK for the first time in more than two years to pour wines, tell stories and meet the trade at the London Wine Fair from 7-9 June 2022.

Twenty-nine Australian wineries from Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales are expanding into the UK and are seeking importers, with winemakers, winery owners and principals flying over to participate in the London Wine Fair’s Wines Unearthed new-to-market area. 

Laura Jewell MW, Wine Australia’s Regional General Manager UK EMEA, said the Wines Unearthed area is a fantastic opportunity for buyers to discover new Australian wine brands.   

“Our producers are excited to be personally introducing their wines to trade in the UK. These new-to-market wines give an excellent snapshot of the current, vibrant wine scene in Australia. From elegant sparkling wines to racy Riesling, classic Cabernet and old vine Shiraz, to alternative varieties and innovative styles, there’s a perfect fit for every buyer and every portfolio.”
