Thai Square, Trafalgar Square with Monsoon Valley wines of Thailand. April 30th 6.30pm

Thailand..producing  wine? Yes, and it’s very good quality too.

Adam recently travelled  to Monsoon valley vineyards, explored the terroir, viticulture and wine making techniques. He tasted through their whole range and discovered  how they  achieve excellent results despite challenging conditions. For more details check our website to see  Adam’s recent publication in Decanter wine Magazine following his visit to Monsoon Valley.

We tastedfive of their wines including their recently released Sparkling Brut Prestige 2024 which was exclusively imported for the evening. The other wines are detailed below.

Melissa Barshef and Chutiton Pryde from Monsoon valley talked us through the history and introduced the wines. We had a quiz with exciting prizes wine by Ella Read and Ankur’s crowd and a blind tasting wine expertly won by Dr Konrad Laker

Monsoon Valley was founded in 2001 by Chalerm Yoovidhya, the visionary co-founder of Red Bull. Monsoon Valley was created to establish a world-class wine culture in Thailand.

Nestled in a former elephant corral near Hua Hin, the vineyard thrives at the 13th latitude, producing “new latitude” wines enriched by mineral-heavy soil and cooling sea breezes.

With over 300 international accolades, including gold medals from the Decanter World Wine Awards, these wines are celebrated globally for their quality.
