David KermodeHOST
We met up in the busy winery and kicked off by talking about how he might define the Australian palate and how that's been impacting the country's wines.

Brendan CarterGUEST
It's changed quite significantly really since wine introduced largely by the British when they came out in the late or mid 1700s, early 1800s.

Brendan CarterGUEST
Post-war, what we know as the populate or perish movement really shifted and changed the Australian palate towards dry table wines.

Brendan CarterGUEST
And now ever since 1973, in fact, was the dropping of quite a racist policy in Australian history.

Brendan CarterGUEST
And that has meant large swathes of our neighbours can now become Australian citizens ever since the 70s and have done in very large numbers.

David KermodeHOST
And finally, what else beyond Fiano, Norello, Mascalese, what else is really exciting you here in Australia that people listening might not automatically associate with this country?

Brendan CarterGUEST
And that has meant large swathes of our neighbours can now become Australian citizens ever since the 70s and have done in very large numbers.

Brendan CarterGUEST
And that has now shifted the Australian palette in really interesting and unexpected ways.
