Royal Queensland Wine Show 2019 Medal Results Catalogue 2019 ROYAL QUEENSLAND WINE SHOW For 142 years, thousands of Australian winemakers have entered the nationally esteemed Royal Queensland Wine Show (RQWS) — the first capital city wine show held in Australia each year and the first to judge the new season’s vintage. Built upon longstanding traditions celebrating excellence in wine, this prestigious show continues to garner success by aligning with consumer interest and current industry trends. With the $12,000 RNA fellowship to be awarded again in 2019, the RQWS continues to be an exciting opportunity for winemakers to further their knowledge of the national and international wine industry, with fellowship funds to be used for travel, training and education towards developing their winemaking skills. The RQWS welcomes the new Chief Judge Jim Chatto, who will lead a team of expert wine judges and industry peers from across the nation. Post judging, exhibits will be showcased at ‘Grape Grazing by Night’ on Friday 12 July 2019. Now in its fourth year, ‘Grape Grazing by Night’ creates a consumer experience from exhibitors’ achievements and allows exhibitors to showcase exhibited wines and engage with 800+ consumers.
