Five Trophies, thirteen Gold, twenty eight Silver and forty six Bronze Medals were awarded to Tahbilk and Dalfarras wines across those Australian Wine Shows entered last year ... so yes, we are grinning!
We do get excited to win Trophies and Gold …and Silver … and Bronze for that matter – over 70% of wines entered in Shows take home no awards at all.
When all is said and done though, you will be the final judges and there are no better judges out there ... we commend this Trophy and Medal winning six pack to you!

About this winei

Wine Show Judging 101

There are around 70 Wine Shows held each year across Australia, with each having certain entry criteria. For example, wines must be made in a certain region or you need a certain volume of wine bottled or it may be an organic only wine show.

There are at least 3 judges and up to 2 associates who taste, comment on and score the wines. The scores given by the associate don’t count towards the wines final score. The associate is there to learn and may help the judges when deliberating over a wine/s by offering another opinion.

Wines are entered in various Classes & then judged on a number of criteria to a maximum of 20 points.
3 points – appearance (colour/clarity etc.)
7 points – bouquet
10 points - palate.

Gold Medals are awarded for wines that achieve 18.5 points or more
Silver – 17 to 18.4 points
Bronze 15.5 to 16.9 points.

All Gold Medal winners are then reassessed in the judging to award Trophies.

There is no limit to the number of wines that can be awarded medals within each Class – if the wine is good enough it is recognized as such. Equally, for example, if no wines score 18.5 points or more then there will be no Gold Medals awarded in that Class.
It is also worth noting that over 70% of wines entered in Shows receives no medals at all, so whilst all that glitters is definitely Trophies and Gold, even a Bronze Medal has its own cachet.

Tasting Notei

Tahbilk 2023 Marsanne | Gold & Silver Medal winner
A challenging vintage, that included a 1 in 100-year flood event, has delivered wines of wonderful depth of flavour and character. The intense floral, citrus and tropical fruits of this iconic Marsanne testament to that ... fresh acidity and a clean minerality adding to its appeal.
Further complexity will undoubtedly come with age.

Tahbilk 2024 Riesling | Gold & Silver Medal winner
After the challenges of the 2023 vintage, the Estate saw an early and successful harvest in 2024 with yields down but quality very good to exceptional.
Mouth-wateringly reflective of Estate Riesling releases past, there is much to enjoy here. Lifted and intense floral and lemon citrus notes are further enhanced by a dazzling acidity that will support further ageing for those with the necessary willpower.

Tahbilk 2021 Shiraz | Silver Medal winner
This Estate Shiraz from the stellar 2021 vintage sets a high bar for richness and complexity.
Bright and expressive spice and savoury notes swirl deliciously through a deeply flavoured dark plum and berry fruits palate supported by supple, chewy tannins. Enjoyment now or cellaring out to 2033/2036 are both very satisfying options.

Tahbilk 2024 Grenache Mourvedre Rose | Gold & Silver Medal winner
The rosy picture presented by the 2024 vintage is no better painted than with this Grenache Mourvèdre Rosé with its bright and colourful splashes of red berry, musk and rose blossom hints.
Deliciously dry and textural. A wine for the here and now … embrace its youthful delights.

Dalfarras 2023 Prosecco | Trophy & Gold Medal winner
Bright, intense and so very appealing with zesty citrus, apple and pear fruits graced with a light frizzante.

Dalfarras 2022 Nero d'Avola | Gold Medal winner
A harmony of dusty spices alongside bright red berry and dark cherry fruits. Smooth tannins and clean acidity give this wine immediate appeal
