Led by wine expert Alex Rougeot, we’ll be showcasing two flagship Victorian producers, By Farr and Mount Mary — notably, the Mount Mary Reflexion, as their 2023 vintage was recently recognized as the James Halliday Pinot Noir of the Year for 2026 — alongside several outstanding producers from Burgundy.
