Winning a medal in Australia’s most respected wine show is wonderful recognition for you and your winery and provides you with a valuable platform to increase sales, greater export opportunities and significant growth. For more than 135 years the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) has conducted these prestigious awards and over time they have evolved to meet changing industry expectations regarding wine style, winemaking techniques and consumer interests. The evolution continued this year with an exciting new change to provide greater recognition to Australia’s most widely planted variety, Shiraz. With Shiraz contributing almost 25% of overall entries, we introduced trophies for the Best Shiraz in each State and Territory. This exciting change is a natural progression from the existing process of judging wines by region, celebrating Australian Shiraz and its diversity. More than 3050 wines were entered this year from over 510 wineries with 29 trophies awarded, including Australia’s best known individual wine award, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy. To celebrate the Jimmy Watson and elevate consumer awareness, we are holding the inaugural Jimmy Watson Trophy Lunch. With a focus on providing an outstanding consumer experience, the event includes exclusive access to the first public release of the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards trophy winning wines. One of the important benchmarks of the RMWA reputation and reasons behind the high level of participation is the quality of judges that assess each entry and award these coveted trophies. Matt Harrop from Curly Flat Wines, Victoria, completed his second year as the Chair of Judges. We greatly appreciate and value his expertise in overseeing the judging along with the 36 wine professionals who have dedicated their time and expertise to judge this year. We are also most grateful of the Royal Melbourne Wine Awards Committee for their time and support in particular the Committee Chair, Angie Bradbury in making sure the RMWA continue to grow in stature. The awards would not be possible without the generous contributions of our event sponsors and we thank Portavin Integrated Wine Services, Plumm, O-I Glass, Labelhouse, Kubota and Seabrook Family Wines. Finally, to you our exhibitors, we greatly appreciate and value your support of the Awards and we look forward to another successful year of Australian wine production in 2020. Paul Guerra Chief Executive Officer Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Royal Melbourne 6 Wine Awards Chair of Judges’ Report MR MATT HARROP RMWA CHAIR OF JUDGES Another Royal Melbourne Wine Awards has been completed. Over four days, 21 judges and 15 associates tasted in excess of 3050 wines. As Chair of Judges, I was in the privileged position of overseeing a wonderful week of tasting and present to you, the exhibitors, the results. The RMWA has grown over the last few years to be the largest wine show in Australia. The RMWA committee, headed by Angie Bradbury, has worked closely with the RASV to ensure every aspect of the show is carried out in the most professional manner possible. As custodians of our industries most coveted trophies, it is essential the RMWA is administered and operated at the highest level of excellence. The team here at the RASV have worked tirelessly to ensure the judging process was as smooth as possible. I acknowledge and thank the stewards, led by Sue Pettit. A huge thank you to the RASV team who made the show such a success led by Michael Katoa and Kirsten Stubbings. To all exhibitors, thank you for entering. Congratulations on your trophy and medal wins, the caliber of competition was incredibly high. For the first time the RMWA has awarded a trophy to the best Shiraz from each state. These state winning wines were tasted against each other to find the winner of the Trevor Mast Trophy for Best Shiraz in show. The Jimmy Watson Trophy taste off was the closest in many years, with the winning wine just one point ahead of the second placed wine. I’m thrilled for Bleasdale, who have a proud wine-growing heritage dating back to 1850. The results of this year’s RMWA reflect the dedication, hard work and expertise of winegrowers across this great country.

The Commonwealth Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade recognise the importance of the Barossa region by specifically referring to it on their website (http://www.dfat.gov.au/facts/wine.html) when. providing an overview of the importance of the wine sector in Australia: ' Wine grape growing and winemaking are carried out in each of the six states and two mainland territories of Australia. The principal production areas are located in the south-east quarter of the Australian continent, in the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Wineries in South Australia's Barossa Valley, in the Hunter River region north of Sydney in New South Wales and in Victoria played a major role in the development of the industry and continue to be important sources of fine wines. In South Australia, wine contributes around 11% of the state's Gross State product, contributing around $2.4 billion to the state's economy. In 2009/10, the Barossa region contributed $85 million {20%) in production value to the state's total wine value. To add further to its 'credentials', the Barossa has recently been acknowledged by an international wine magazine as one of the 5 most recognised wine regions in the world, and this is supported by the busiest Visitor Information Centre in regional South Australia.

  • In the Time It Has Taken James Halliday to Compile His 26 Australian Wine
    In the time it has taken James Halliday to compile his 26 Australian Wine Companions, the Chardonnay grape has emigrated to almost every hill and vale across our viticultural landscape. No other variety has adapted more successfully, from single barrel selections to vast commercial blends. No other inspires such singular focus in our winemakers to sharpen their craft. No other sends vignerons searching, with gold fever, for that next hill, or clone, or aspect. Chardonnay alone explores the breadth and personality of all Australian wine regions. In our tribute to James Halliday, the true patron of fine Australian wine, no other variety would do for this national wine competition. Organised by Wine Yarra Valley, the objective of the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge is to affirm the quality of Australian Chardonnay and provide a catalyst for people to take a fresh look at this much-loved wine by providing an appropriate platform for the national search to recognize Australia’s finest chardonnay. A Welcome from the Committee Australian chardonnay has never been better. It is a great news story and one about which we should all be proud and excited. The level of support for the inaugural James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge has been overwhelming and we thank all of the exhibitors for getting behind it so enthusiastically. We thank James for his guidance and support in the design and execution of the competition and agreeing to be our patron. We were very lucky to be able to secure one of the most dynamic and talented groups of judges in Australia, literally from coast-to-coast, and thank them for volunteering their time, expertise and camaraderie.
