This year the team of judges tasted and deliberated their way through some 1132 wines across 160 Australian producers. Judging took place over three days, culminating in the taste off for the trophy winning wines. The major awards were shared by no less than 14 producers, across 11 regions and 5 states; attesting greatly 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 (and New Zealand) wine industries. This year we had winemakers, sommeliers, retailers, distributors and a viticulturist, 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, and all great winemakers in their own right. This level of talent brings real depth to the team. They were: Tom Carson Chair of The Royal Melbourne Wine Awards (past Chair of The National Wine Show of Australia) Warren Gibson Chair of the New Zealand Wine Awards PJ Charteris Chair of NSW Wine Awards (past chair of Royal Brisbane Wine Awards) Andrew Spinaze Chair of Royal Perth Wine Show Highlights Whites Riesling from the 2012, 2015 and 2016 vintages really shone, with some lovely expressive wines of great length and purity, really impressing the judges. Semillon performed very well with 8 gold medals across 39 entries, an astonishing 20% strike rate. A wonderful 2009 Hunter Valley Semillon, still with years of improvement, took out the trophy for best Dry White Table Wine. Also a set of Semillons from the same producer was awarded this year’s White Wine of Provenance Trophy. Chardonnay from 2012, 2013 and 2015 vintages impressed the judges, with some great examples out of the Hunter Valley, Yarra Valley, Margaret River and Adelaide Hills and all vying for the top awards. The strength of the 2015 vintage was evidenced by the 11 golds representing a 13% strike rate. That said, in the end it was an incredibly fresh, complex and textured 2012 Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley that took line honours. Reds The recent vintages of 2014 and 2015 shone, with some great examples of Shiraz, Cabernet, Pinot Noir and ‘Mediterranean’ varietals and blends thereof, across many regions, being awarded high medals. Pinot Noir from the great 2015 vintage, really captivated the judges. Evidenced by 7 golds medals being awarded across only 40 entries. An extraordinary strike right of 17.5%! Total medals in this class was 67.5%. The leading Pinot states of Tasmania and Victoria lead the charge; the top two wines are super examples from Tasmania. Shiraz was another standout with wines from 2013, 2014 and 2015 being awarded 20 golds from some 300 entries (~7%) and from no less than 11 regions, and a diverse range of styles, demonstrating the diversity and adaptability Page 2 of our single most planted variety. I am very happy to say that for the first time in 12 years the prestigious Len Evans Trophy for Best Wine of Show has been awarded to a Shiraz. Emerging varietals, and blends thereof, fared very well with the judges this year; look at the results in classes 22, 23 and 24. Some really exciting Grenache (and blends), Tempranillo (and blends), as well as a Touriga Nacional and a Montepulciano generated great discussion and enjoyment with the judging team. A beautifully composed yet expressive Grenache came within a hare’s breath of the coveted best Dry Red Table Wine Trophy. Last year I 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 and Greece. They sit so well with our warmer climates, the lifestyle, and the cuisine that goes with it. Upon approaching one of the Panel Chairs (PJ Charteris) during one of these classes. I enquired where they were (in reference to progress through the judging) he said, with great excitement: “we are in the future!”. In their third year, the Wine of Provenance classes, were exemplary. 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 (2016, 2009 and 2005) from the Hunter Valley and a set of Shiraz (2015, 2009 and 2005) from the Canberra District. Go Canberra! 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 in the trophy judging (there are always a few). This year it came down to two wines: a beautifully expressive cool climate Shiraz from Canberra (see top gold in class 17) and a stunning Pinot Noir from Southern Tasmania (see equal top gold in class 14), displaying seductive fruit purity and an expansive finish. However, I only get to choose one and it was one of my favourite wines during the week of judging…the glorious Tasmanian Pinot. On behalf of the RNCAS, the Show Committee and the judging team, I would like to thank all the exhibitors for supporting the National Wine Show of Australia. To all the award winners, I look forward to seeing how these results contribute to your future success and the success of great Australian wine internationally.
