With wine tasting, much thought is put into getting all the elements right: the serving temperature of wine, the type of wine glass used, whether to decant a wine before serving. And when it comes to dining, food and wine pairing is an occupation all to itself. But have you ever considered the effect water has on the palate? We gathered together some leading winemakers and sommeliers to test how different types of water affect our palate.
Designed to place vineyards and growers across the nation at the heart of the Australian wine story, and the heart of the Australian wine community, the 5th Annual Vineyard of the Year Awards is now open for registrations.
For the first time in the 18 year history of the Young Gun of Wine Awards, the top trophy has gone to a Tasmanian winemaker. Indeed, three of the six trophies went to Tasmania.
The fourth instalment of the annual Vineyard of the Year Awards has been decided following a six month process that included site inspections of shortlisted finalists, with the judging panel reaching a consensus on the winners of the four trophies: New Vineyard of the Year; Old Vineyard of the Year; Innovative Vineyard of the Year, dubbed ‘The Groundbreaker’; and Vineyard of the Year.

This year marks the 18th annual edition of the Young Gun of Wine Awards. Since 2007, we’ve scoured the country for the best emerging talent, winemakers on the rise who are reshaping the wine landscape by creating their own no-compromise projects or reimagening established brands with a new vision.

The Top 50 winemakers for 2024 have just been announced, and they’re an exciting lot.

That’s why the vineyard of the year awards – in my humble opinion – are so important. They provide shining examples of innovative ideas, leading-edge practice, and sustainable business,” said awards panellist Max Allen.
The 2023 Wineslinger Awards – the sixth annual edition of the wine guru’s guide to the best haunts in Australia right now – have just been announced, with the winners crowned at a trophy presentation in Melbourne.
