The Cork & Fizz Guide to Wine
Ep 52 Exploring Australia's Unique Wine Varieties with Kim Chalmers of Chalmers Wine
The Chalmers family’s wine business is nothing short of extraordinary.
They place an emphasis on sustainable practices and family-owned values as well as being advocates for broadening perspectives on Australian wine.
Australian wine is more than Shiraz or Sémillon. Chalmers is leading the way with their unique flavor profiles.
However, those unique flavor profiles come with their challenges when it comes to growing and introducing new grape varieties and how Australian weather shapes the taste of the grapes.
Today’s guest, Kim Chalmers, is a managing director of her family vine, grape and wine business in Victoria, Australia. Kim and her family work to import, promote, propagate, and sustainably grow grape varieties new to Australia. The Chalmers Family has imported more than 50 grape varieties over the past two decades, helping shape the modern face of Australian wine.
So, press play and tune in to discover the intricate world of Australian wines, the passion behind the Chalmers family's vineyards, and the hurdles they faced in their pursuit of wine innovation.
