ICC Sydney Beverage Operations and cellar manager William Wilson developed the collection to shine a spotlight on local suppliers, following a seven-day tasting of over 1,000 labels from more than 300 wineries.
“ICC Sydney is committed to partnering with small and large regional producers to encourage the growth of wineries and local jobs,” said Wilson.
“Seventy-four of our wines are from New South Wales with the remainder of the collection comprised of stand-out wines from across Australia as well as a few international labels. A number of impressive vintages from across the State really shone through during the tasting, with the Hunter Valley, Orange, Riverina and Mudgee among some of the most fruitful regions.
