We’re honoured to announce that we have been named one of Australia’s Top Winemakers in 2026. These awards are compiled by the team at The Real Review, Australia’s leading wine review publication.
Led by internationally recognised wine writer, critic, educator and show judge Huon Hooke, The Real Review fields an international expert tasting team that reviews around 10,000 wines per year, “offering comprehensive tasting notes, ratings and recommendations to empower consumers and elevate their wine experiences.”
Some of the latest reviews include:

2023 Castle Rock Estate ‘Diletti’ Riesling: 96 Points,
