International Judge’s Award
Awarded by Sean Ou – Castle Rock Estate

The inaugural International Judge’s Award ‘recognises a wine selected by the International Judge that resonates on a global scale‘.

We were thrilled to be recognised for our Rieslings and Pinot Noir. These are the varieties our site excels in, and to have the team acknowledged for the dedication and focus we’ve put into them is certainly rewarding.

Our aim is always to produce Riesling with fruit purity, finesse and balance; wines that truly reflect this unique Australian region. We’re confident in our site and are currently expanding the vineyard with further plantings of Riesling and Pinot Noir.

Other awards included:

Panel Chair for Aged White Wines (2017 and older) Erin Larkin commented, “An exciting, rewarding class. Old white wine is a beautiful thing, and widely under-explored. The best wines here show freshness and focus despite their age, and will continue to express in this way for many years to come. Not all wine ages well, and just because a wine is old doesn’t make it great. But today, we were treated to many great old wines.”
