Discovering the World of Wine at Murray's Iron Works

A Brief History of Wine Making

Wine making has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with evidence of wine production dating back to ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The art of winemaking continued to evolve throughout the centuries, with different cultures and regions developing their own unique techniques and traditions.

From the ancient Greeks to the Romans, wine played a significant role in many societies, serving as a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and celebration. Wine was also used for medicinal purposes, believed to have healing properties and even used as a form of currency.

The Art of Wine Tasting

Wine tasting is an art form that requires patience, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. It's not just about sipping on a glass of wine and declaring it 'good' or 'bad', but rather understanding the complex flavors, aromas, and textures that make each bottle unique.

As you swirl the wine in your glass, take note of its color, clarity, and viscosity. The nose is where the magic happens, as the subtlest hints of fruit, floral, and earthy notes can reveal themselves. And then there's the palate, where the flavors come together to create a harmonious balance or a cacophony of confusion.
