OUR AWARD-WINNING WINES

We are delighted to share our recent accolades in the press and on the wine show circuit, including the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion Awards, which were recently announced. We’re thrilled to reveal our top rated wines for the 2025 Edition and we were once again awarded with a 5-star winery rating, recognising our winery for consistently producing wines of “exemplary quality”.

In addition, Erin Larkin from The Wine Advocate reviewed a number of our wines with exceptional scores, and The Real Review’s Wine Classification of Australia was announced this week, with Vat 1 Semillon  being upgraded to the highest level as a 3 Merit Wine.

THE FULL LIST OF RECENT REVIEWS AND AWARDS

Real Review’s Wine Classification of Australia comprises the greatest wines of Australia with an outstanding track record of a decade or longer. Each wine has demonstrated its quality in our blind tastings over a period of at least ten years. Many of the wines in our Classification have earned their place over several decades. It is revised annually, so wines have the opportunity to be upgraded every year. We must have tasted at least 10 vintages of a vintage table wine for it to qualify. Classified wines receive either 1, 2 or 3 Merits, 3 being the highest.” Eight wines were up-graded from 2 to 3 Merits, Vat 1 Semillon is one of them.
