International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney has furthered its commitment to local producers with a comprehensive new wine list comprising 100 per cent New South Wales-produced wines.
Highlighting the state’s reputation as a top producer while driving economic impact, the new collection will be showcased to a global audience of 1.4 million visitors who attend events at the venue each year.
Handpicked by respected sommelier and ICC Sydney’s beverage operations and cellar manager, William Wilson, the reinvigorated wine list was developed following an extensive blind tasting of more than 400 wines, to ensure only the highest quality drops are listed.
To mark the move, ICC Sydney is also releasing a documentary series shining a light on the state’s world-class wine industry, with the first episode of the four-part 100% Local series available for your viewing below:
Highlighting stories of partner producers and NSW’s rich winemaking history, the series explores the challenges of a changing climate, and how winemakers are responding with resilience and innovation.
NSW Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney, Stuart Ayres, said: “I was proud to join ICC Sydney at the launch of their original wine list in 2016.
“It’s great to see they now source all their wines from the state, partnering with producers and representing our world-class wine regions on the global stage.
“This is not just building the reputation of NSW’s wines internationally, but is fostering growth opportunities for those who are also increasingly having to tackle and adapt to the challenges that farming in regional Australia brings.”
