26 gold medals, 97 silver medals and 324 bronze medals out of 787 wines judged. Is the Trophy Wine Show sponsored by Fairbairn Capital the most authoritative competition in the country?

No Cordoba, no L'Avenir, no Saxenburg, no Thelema. Why did these top producers not enter?

Despite Shiraz being seen as having great potential locally, not a single example of a wine made from this variety won gold. What do you make of this result?
