Message from the Chair of JudgesThis is my fourth and last show as Chairman of Judges. It’s also my 15th time judging at this great show. It’s been a wonderful journey filled with wonderfully passionate people and many great stories. For a boy from Canberra, the opportunity to chair the National Wine Show of Australia is a dream come true and something I will cherish for the rest of my days. I am honoured to be able to present the complete catalogue of results and especially the list of trophy winning wines.

This year the team of judges tasted and deliberated their way through some 1171 entries across 210 Australian producers, representing a 3.5% increase in entries and a 31% increase in exhibitors. This speaks greatly of the health and relevance of this great show.

Judging took place over four days, culminating in the taste off for the trophy winning wines.

The major awards were shared by no less than 16 producers, across 11 regions, 5 states and 1 territory, from small and larger producers alike, attesting to the extraordinary breadth and depth of Australian winemaking today.

Our team of judges brought together an extraordinary degree of experience across many different fields of the Australian wine industries. This year we had winemakers, sommeliers, retailers and a distributor, each bringing their own expertise and adding greatly to the discussion and ultimately the results presented here.

Our four panel chairs are some of the most experienced wine show judges in the southern hemisphere. This level of talent brings real depth to the team. They were:

Corrina Wright - Chair of both the Margaret River Show and the James Halliday Cabernet Challenge

PJ Charteris- Incoming Chair of Sydney Royal and Past Chair of Royal Queensland Wine Show

David Bicknell- Chair of Royal Queensland Wine Show and Past Chair of Royal Melbourne Wine Awards

Chris Crawford- Panel Chair Royal Melbourne Wine Awards and General Manager – Beverages, Crown Australia Limited

Highlights

WhitesRiesling from the 2015, 2016 and 2017 vintages really shone with some lovely expressive wines of great length and purity, really impressing the judges.

Chardonnay from the 2015 and 2016 vintages also impressed the judges, with some great examples from Beech-worth, Yarra Valley, Margaret River and Adelaide Hills vying for the top awards. The strength of the 2016 vintage was evidenced by the 9 gold medals representing a nearly 10% strike rate. A wonderful 2016 Beechworth Chardonnay took out the trophy for best Dry White Table Wine.

Semillon performed very well with 7 gold medals across 44 entries, an impressive 16% strike rate. Best Semillon went to a superb 2005 still with years ahead of it. Also a set of Semillons from the very same producer was awarded this year’s White Wine of Provenance Trophy.

RedsThe recent vintages of 2015 and 2016 shone, with some great examples of Shiraz, Cabernet, Pinot Noir and ‘Mediterranean’ varietals and blends thereof, across many regions, being awarded high medals.

Shiraz was very strong with wines from 2015 and 2016 being awarded 16 gold medals from some 200 entries (~8%) from no less than 7 regions and a diverse range of styles, demonstrating the diversity and adaptability of our single most planted variety. I am very happy to say that for the second year in a row the prestigious Len Evans Trophy for Best Wine of Show has been awarded to a Shiraz.

Pinot Noir from the 2016 vintage really captivated the judges, evidenced by 4 gold medals awarded across only 34 entries. A solid strike right of 12%. Total medals in this class was 62%. The key Pinot states of Tasmania and Victoria lead the charge with the top two wines being superb examples from Tasmania and Mornington Peninsula.

Emerging varietals and blends thereof, fared very well with the judges this year. Look to the results in classes 22 and 24. Some really exciting Grenache (and blends), Tempranillo (and blends) as well as a Sangiovese, generated great discussion and enjoyment within the judging team. This year again, a beautifully composed, yet expressive, Grenache came very close to the coveted best Dry Red Table Wine Trophy.

For the last two years I have said that I believe there is real synergy in many parts of Australia for emerging varieties hailing from the coastal regions of Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece etc. They sit so well with our warmer climates, the lifestyle and the cuisine that goes with it.

In their fourth year, the White and Red Wine of Provenance classes were great fun to taste. The provenance awards are designed to recognise and celebrate vineyards and wines of exceptional provenance, reflecting consistency of style and quality over time. This year’s winners were a set of Semillons (2017, 2009 and 2006) from the Hunter Valley and a set of Shiraz (2016, 2010 and 2006) from a tiny, 90 year old, single vineyard, in the Barossa.

It’s always a tough task awarding the Chairman’s Award. I generally look for a wine of excellent quality and character that may have been a little unlucky throughout the judging week - there are always a few. That said, this year it was a simple decision - the best Shiraz I tasted through the judging week didn’t have enough volume for the Shiraz Trophy. What could have been….?

My Chairman’s Award goes to beautifully expressive cool climate Shiraz from Canberra - see top gold in class 17. Amazingly this very same wine was the runner-up to my award last year.

On behalf of the RNCAS, the Wine Show Committee and the judging team, I would like to thank all the exhibitors for supporting the National Wine Show of Australia. I look forward to seeing how these results contribute to your future success and the success of great Australian wine.

Wines of Provenance(Classes 25-26)These classes recognise outstanding Australian wines that have shown a consistency of style and quality over many years. Three vintages of the same wine, with the same label, with a vintage spread of at least 10 years, are judged as a group, rather than individually. At least one of the group must be an award-winning wine. However, it is expected that all three wines will be of Gold medal standard.
