Pop-up wineries give cities a taste of the craft

Fun. This is the word that keeps spilling from the lips of every urban winemaker with whom I’ve spoken; the people who have spent the past few weeks crushing, fermenting and pressing grapes in inner-city locations across the country. In February, Margaret River winemaker Nic Peterkin took over a corner of the Mantle Restaurant in Fremantle and filled a collection of glass demijohns with verdelho and pinot noir juice he’d pressed with the help of the restaurant patrons.
