Interested in the Gold Winning wines in the Hunter Valley? 🥂🍷

The results and Chairman of Judges summary can be found at www.hvboutiquewineshow.com.au

What a terrific show we had this year at the Hunter Bottling Company Hunter Valley Boutique Wine Show.

There were 318 entries from 49 different companies which is an excellent result considering the financial pressures that all businesses are facing. We had a 56% medal strike rate which means that 180 wines were awarded. 40 medals were gold (which represents 12.5% of the entries), 51 silver and 89 bronze medals. Compared to 2022 the strike rate for medals was exactly the same at 56% with the Gold medal strike rate 12% compared to 12.5% in 2023. Amazingly consistent – so congratulations to all 49 exhibitors.
Over, the judges were very impressed with the quality of the traditional varieties of Semillon, Chardonnay, Shiraz, and Verdelho. As I said earlier there was also a lot of support for some of the newer plantings with a number of solid awards going to Vermentino, Fiano, Barbara, Montepulicano, and Percorino.

You can read the full Chairman of Judges - Neil McGuigan's summary of the show at https://www.hvboutiquewineshow.com.au/coj/
