Established in 1884, the awards have continued to grow in stature and today awards some of the most coveted wine trophies in Australia, renowned both nationally and internationally. An award win at the RMWA is an honour of long-standing tradition, and is highly regarded amongst the national industry and around the world, leading to increased sales, greater export opportunities and significant growth. Reflecting industry trends, production techniques and consumer interest, the RMWA combines the history of Australian winemaking with the modern contemporary offering, introducing new classes and trophies to ensure the awards stay relevant, credible and valuable for those who enter. As Australian winemakers increasingly adopt innovative production techniques, the introduction of the Best Organic or Biodynamic Wine Trophy recognises and rewards fine wine production through environmentally sustainable farming practices. With over 3100 wines entered, judging is an enormous task and would not be possible without the dedication and commitment of the panel of judges and steward team. We acknowledge and thank our Chair of Judges, Tom Carson for his invaluable expertise, commitment and dedication to the delivery of this year’s competition. Tom’s wealth of knowledge and skill is highly valued. Our sincere thanks also to the 35 wine professionals who have dedicated their time and expertise to judging this year’s event. The RMWA’s reputation and the quality of entries received is testament to the calibre of judges – some of Australian winemaking’s most respected and valued contributors. We extend a sincere thanks to the RMWA Committee for their time and support and in particular acknowledge the Committee Chair, Angie Bradbury. We extend our appreciation to our event sponsors Portavin Integrated Wine Services, Exponet, Kubota Tractors Australia, Dan Murphy’s, Plumm and the Seabrook Family Wines. Finally, to you our exhibitors, we extend our genuine appreciation for your support of the Awards, and for your continued high quality production of Australian wines. Congratulations to all who have entered this year’s RMWA and we look forward to another successful year of production in 2017. Mark O’Sullivan Chief Executive Officer Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Royal Melbourne 3 Wine Awards Proud sponsor of the best single varietal red trophy At Dan Murphy’s, we’ve curated a range of over 4,000 wines from all over our nation. We’re not alone in our pursuit of excellence, and we congratulate all the winning winemakers from this year’s Royal Melbourne Wine Awards. “One must admire dedication in any form.” June 1981 Chair of Judges’ Report MR TOM CARSON RMWA CHAIR OF JUDGES After five days of judging over 3100 entries, this year’s medal and trophy winners of the 2016 Royal Melbourne Wine Awards (RMWA) have been decided. Once again, it has been a great honour to lead the judging panel through the assessment of the nation’s finest wines and we now proudly present you the results. Over 500 wineries and winemakers entered this year’s awards and the quality of the 2015 vintage across both red and white wines has been nothing short of outstanding. Our expert panel of judges, who have had the privilege of tasting and deliberating on this year’s entries, boasts extensive knowledge and experience across many different fields of the Australian wine industry, including: winemakers, retailers, educators, sommeliers, distributors, commentators and marketers. It is through this diversity and depth of understanding and capability, that the RMWA continues to provide credible feedback and value to Australian winemakers. Thank you to all the judges for their support and commitment to this important role. As the awards continually evolve, we are thrilled to present the inaugural winner of the Best Biodynamic or Organic Wine Trophy this year, alongside some the most coveted and historically significant wine trophies in Australia. The awards would not be possible without the dedication of the support team and organisers. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the steward team including Head Steward Stephanie Jacob, her assistants Mim Buttigieg and Pip Crawford, and Back of House Manager Mark Nicholson, as well as RASV’s Epicure team including Damian Nieuwesteeg, Ann Houlihan, Elissa Barlow and Dani Tsaples who work tirelessly to ensure the smooth, professional delivery of the awards. On behalf of RASV, the RMWA committee, and all of the judging team, I thank all those who entered and supported the awards this year- without the contribution of Australian winemakers, the awards would not be the prestigious event they are today. Congratulations to all the medal and trophy winners on your achievements in such a high calibre competition - we look forward to seeing how these awards will help shape your future success and provide new and greater opportunities.

  • 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.

  • Australian Chardonnay's Star Continues to Rise
    July 3, 2015 Australian Chardonnay’s star continues to rise A Hunter Valley 2014 Chardonnay from First Creek Wines has taken out the Courier-Mail Grand Champion Wine of Show at this year’s Royal Queensland Wine Show Awards. “This wine shows great balance and finesse, while revealing layers of underlying complexity” explained Chief Judge PJ Charteris. “It shows its fruit character clearly while fulfilling the definition of the contemporary style of Australian Chardonnay.” Chardonnay and Shiraz continue to go from strength to strength with the historic Stodart Trophy, for Best Young Red of Show, going to the 2014 Bandit Shiraz from Houghton Wines in Western Australia. “I’m also enthusiastic about Australian Riesling,” Mr Charteris said. “Riesling continues to perform well, but is somewhat under-appreciated by consumers. “This variety represents seriously great value for money for what is a high quality product, so there are some real wins there for consumers who are in the know.” The Brisbane Club Best Riesling of Show went to Orlando Wines for its 2015 St Helga Eden Valley Riesling. The judges were also impressed with the Grenache and Rhone style blends which showed ‘great varietal characters, vibrancy and drinkability’. “Consumers should embrace these blends for their food-matching versatility,” he said. “It’s also terrific to see Queensland wines performing well, particularly with red varieties like Tempranillo.” Golden Grove Estate took out two trophies for its 2014 Joven Tempranillo – Best Queensland Wine of Show and the John Chandler Memorial for Best Other Single Varietal Red of Show, highlighting the potential of this variety in Queensland.
