FOREWORD

Congratulations on the 30th edition of the Tasmanian Wine Show, an achievement as exceptional as

the quality of our State’s wine. Injecting more than $100 million to the local economy annually and

directly employing more than 2 000 full time equivalent positions (often in regional areas), the Tas-

manian wine industry sits at the heart of our agriculture, manufacturing and tourism sectors. Our wine

story is also a key part of our unique Tasmanian brand.

Events such as the Tasmanian Wine Show are an ideal forum to further raise the industry’s profile and

to provide industry professionals and decision makers the opportunity to learn more about Tasmanian

wine. I am delighted that the Tasmanian Government is involved once again this year and I am proud

to add that we continue to support growth in this sector – through research and development, indus-

try and market development and biosecurity.

Tasmania remains a net exporter of premium wines and we are committed to supporting those Tas-

manian wine producers who wish to grow their export markets. For example, the Government has

allocated $600 000 over four years to Wine Tasmania for a wine market development and tourism

initiative that will enable the sector to continue growing it premium reputation in key markets.

On behalf of the Tasmanian Government, I thank those involved in the organisation of this year’s

show, all of whom are volunteers. Congratulations on a job well done. We look forward to a successful

show and to celebrating as many medal winners as possible.

SPECIAL THANKS TO David Dunn and the wonderful staff at Drysdale North Campus,

TasTAFE.

The 30th Tasmania Wine Show provides an opportunity to look both back and forwards. The

first show in 1991 saw James Halliday preside over 43 wines; the show was in two halves with

one section providing written feedback and the other section awarding medals and trophies.

Huon Hooke joined the judging panel in 1992 and the long-term commitment of both Huon

and James has been of tremendous benefit to the Tasmanian Wine Industry.

The modern show has exhibitors who enter wines in multiple classes along with those who

have just a single wine to enter. The exhibitors from the early shows have been joined by the

next generations of growers and wine makers.

I’d like to give a huge thankyou to this years judging panel, including our Tasmanian Associate

judges and the wonderful stewarding team. The names of the judges, associate judges,

committee, stewards and other helpers appear at the front of the catalogue and I propose an

enormous thank you to them all.

The sponsors logos also appear at the front of the catalogue and I acknowledge their ongoing

support and various contributions to the Show. In particular I thank both the Minister and

Department of State Growth for supporting the visit of Chuck Hayward, our international

judge.

The outlook for the next 30 years, through to 2050, will be an exciting time for the Tasmanian

Wine Industry.

Cheers!

14 Goaty Hill Maia 2013 Bronze

15 Henskens Rankin of Tasmania Vintage Rosé 2013 Bronze

17 Uplands Vineyard Sparkling 2011 Silver

The high number of top medals attests to the quality of these wines. There were many

highlights and few disappointing or faulty wines - just a couple of bretty wines and one volatile

wine.

Class 3 - Non-vintage sparkling wine


1 Pepik Sparkling Rose NV NV Bronze

2 Dunrobin Estate Charlotte NV Bronze

5 Kreglinger Brut NV Silver

6 42 Degrees South N.V. NV Bronze

7 Radenti Sparkling NV Gold

12 Moores Hill Sparkling Blanc de blancs NV Bronze

13 Josef Chromy NV Sparkling NV Bronze

14 The Ridge North Lilydale NV Sparkling Rose NV Bronze

16 Ninth Island Sparkling Rosé NV NV Gold Several highlights in this very good commercial class of sparkling wines. The best of these are

likely to represent very good value for money. Some wines were spoilt by volatility and

brettanomyces.

Class 4 - Riesling - dry - 2019 vintage


1 Pressing Matters Riesling R0 2019 Silver

2 Eddystone Point Riesling 2019 Silver

3 Bream Creek Vineyard Riesling 2019 Bronze

4 Craigow Riesling 2019 Silver

5 Devil's Corner Resolution Riesling 2019 Bronze

6 Ninth Island Riesling 2019 Top Gold

11 Derwent Estate Riesling 2019 Bronze

12 Pooley Butcher's Hill Riesling 2019 Bronze

13 Roslyn 1823 Riesling 2019 Bronze

14 Steve's Liquor No.4 Riesling 2019 Bronze

15 Laurel Bank Riesling 2019 Bronze

19 Two Tonne Tasmania TMV Riesling 2019 Bronze

25 Pressing Matters Riesling R9 2019 Bronze

26 Devil's Corner Riesling 2019 Bronze

28 Riversdale Estate Cygnus Riesling 2019 Gold

29 Bangor Lagoon Bay Riesling 2019 Bronze A good strong class of Rieslings, although many of them need more time and are a bit young to

be showing their best. The two gold medals are marvellously fine wines that will go on to age

superbly.

Class 5 - Riesling - dry - 2018 vintage


1 Waterton Hall Riesling 2018 Bronze

2 Goaty Hill Riesling 2018 Bronze

3 Laurel Bank Riesling 2018 Bronze

4 Derwent Estate Riesling 2018 Bronze


6 Josef Chromy Riesling 2018 Silver

7 Rivulet Riesling 2018 Gold

9 Freycinet Riesling 2018 Top Gold

12 Craigow Riesling 2018 Bronze

13 Artisan Tasmania Riesling 2018 Silver

14 Riversdale Estate Riesling 2018 Bronze


16 Pipers Brook Riesling 2018 Silver

17 Bream Creek Vineyard Riesling 2018 Gold

19 Shy Susan Riesling 2018 Bronze

20 Bream Creek Vineyard Old Vine Reserve Riesling 2018 Silver

23 Elsewhere Vineyard Riesling 2018 Bronze A strong class with many highlights. These wines are on the whole restrained and delicate, age-

worthy and needed extra time to start to reveal their true worth. Some were still too restrained

and may emerge in the future. Several showed deft use of low-level sweetness. Some had a

little matchstick which enhanced rather than obscured their fruit aromatics. This was very

enjoyable to judge.

Class 6 - Riesling - dry - 2017 vintage and older


1 Frogmore Creek Riesling 2017 Silver

2 Artisan Tasmania Riesling 2017 Bronze

3 Riversdale Estate Riesling 2017 Bronze


5 Boomer Creek Riesling 2017 Silver

6 Milton Reserve Riesling 2017 Bronze

8 Pressing Matters Riesling R0 2017 Top Gold


12 Relbia Estate Riesling 2015 Silver

13 Pressing Matters Riesling R9 2014 Gold


A very good class, with the 2017s showing as tight, youthful, potentially long living wines, albeit

sometimes a little austere. The older wines showed Tasmanian riesling's great ability to develop

with age into superbly complex, charming wines. The gold medal wines are contrasting styles

and both very worthy golds.

Class 7 - Gewürztraminer - any vintage


1 Cazadora Gewurztraminer 2019 Bronze

2 Pipers Brook Gewurztraminer 2019 Bronze

Class 8 - Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris - any vintage


1 Barringwood Pinot Gris 2019 Bronze

2 Goaty Hill Pinot Gris 2019 Bronze

3 APOGEE ALTO PINOT GRIS 2019 2019 Bronze

5 Devil's Corner Pinot Grigio 2019 Gold

7 Derwent Estate Pinot Gris 2019 Bronze

8 Bream Creek Vineyard Pinot Grigio 2019 Bronze

11 Eddystone Point Pinot Gris 2019 Silver

12 Bangor Jimmy's Hill Pinot Gris 2019 Bronze

14 Gala Estate, Pinot Gris-White Label 2019 Bronze

22 Velo Pinot Gris 2019 Bronze

23 Bangor Jimmy's Hill Reserve Pinot Gris 2018 Silver

24 Riversdale Estate - Pinot Gris 2018 Bronze

28 Tamar Ridge Pinot Gris 2018 Bronze

Many plain wines which showed dilution, sweetness and many had phenolic bitterness. The

strike rate for medals was relatively modest. The top winds were clean, fresh and had

drinkability. The trophy wine had purity of fruit, clean floral aromas and balanced sweetness,

brightness and harmony.

Class 9 - Sauvignon Blanc - non-oaked - any vintage


1 Derwent Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Silver

3 Brown Brothers 1889 Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Bronze

5 Gala Estate, Sauvignon Blanc-White Label 2019 Bronze

7 Bell & Gong Sauvignon Blanc 2019 2019 Gold

12 4 Of Us Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Bronze

14 Anon Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Bronze

16 Velo Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Silver

18 Terre Verde Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Silver

20 Ghost Rock Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Bronze

Class 10 - Sauvignon Blanc - oaked - any vintage


1 Eddystone Point Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Bronze

2 Tamar Ridge Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Bronze

3 Bay Of Fires Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Bronze

4 Priory Ridge Wines Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Silver

5 Freycinet Wineglass Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2018 Gold There was a big diversity in the degree of oak used. Top wines had richness and good depth of

ripe fruit.

Class 11 - Chardonnay - non-oaked - any vintage


3 Pepik Chardonnay 2019 Bronze

Class 12 - Chardonnay - oaked - 2019 vintage


1 Gala Estate, Chardonnay-White Label 2019 Bronze

Class 13 - Chardonnay - oaked - 2018 vintage


2 Milton Dunbabin Reserve Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

3 Bay of Fires Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

4 Uplands Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

5 Bishops Vineyard 2018 Bronze

6 Ouse River Wines Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

7 Brown Brothers Patricia Chardonnay 2018 Gold

8 Pooley Cooinda Vale Vineyard 2018 Bronze

9 Pipers Brook Chardonnay 2018 Silver

12 Derwent Estate Chardonnay 2018 Silver

13 Terre Verde Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

15 Devil's Corner Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

16 Priory Ridge Wines Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

17 Shy Susan Chardonnay 2018 Gold

18 Bream Creek Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 Silver

19 Ironhouse Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

21 Stefano Lubiana Estate Chardonnay BD 2018 Top Gold

22 Riversdale Estate Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

23 Artisan Tasmania Chardonnay 2018 Silver

24 Gala Estate, Chardonnay-Black Label 2018 Bronze

25 Josef Chromy Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

27 Penfolds Cellar Reserve Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

28 Mapleton Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

29 Dawson James Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

30 Elsewhere Vineyard Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

34 Eddystone Point Chardonnay 2018 Bronze

35 Velo Chardonnay 2018 Bronze There was some same-ishness in this class. It's as if many wines are being made much the same

way. They are tight and reserved but a bit simple, alcohols seem modest, but many wines lack

generosity. Some wines were too oaky or forward-developed. The top wines were fine and

delicate with subtle oak and pristine fruit driving them.

Class 14 - Chardonnay - oaked - 2017 vintage and older


2 Cape Bernier Chardonnay 2017 Bronze

3 GlenAyr Chardonnay 2017 Silver

4 Devil's Corner Resolution Chardonnay 2017 Bronze

6 Derwent Estate Chardonnay 2017 Gold

8 Bangor 1830 Chardonnay 2017 Silver

9 Freycinet Chardonnay 2017 Bronze

12 Dawson James Chardonnay 2017 Silver

14 Dawson James Chardonnay 2016 Bronze

16 Derwent Estate Calcaire Chardonnay 2016 Bronze

17 Clemens Hill Chardonnay 2016 Silver

18 Derwent Estate Chardonnay 2016 Silver

19 Riversdale Estate - Crater Chardonnay 2016 Bronze

20 Riversdale Estate Crater Chardonnay 2016 Bronze

21 Riversdale Estate - Crater Chardonnay 2015 Bronze

22 Riversdale Estate Crater Chardonnay 2014 Silver

23 Dunrobin Estate Alice 2012 Bronze A strong class, evidence of the ageing potential of Tassie chardonnay. Some wines were a little

forward, but the top wine is a wonderful example and has years ahead of it.

Class 15 - All other white varieties, styles and blends - any vintage


1 Craigow White Blend 2019 Silver

3 Gala Estate, Estate Pinot Gris-Black Label 2018 Bronze

Class 16 - Medium-sweet - any variety - any vintage


1 Josef Chromy SGR Riesling 2019 Bronze

4 Frogmore Creek FGR 2018 Bronze

6 Pressing Matters Riesling R69 2017 Gold

7 Gala Estate, Late Harvest Riesling -Black Label 2017 Silver

8 Derwent Estate Late Harvest Riesling 2017 Bronze

9 Frogmore Creek FGR 2017 Bronze Several attractive wines which just lacked the maturity to charm the judges on the day,

excepting the gold medal that was beautifully balanced and showed great potential. Some

wines lack varietal character and intensity.

Class 17 - Sweet - any variety - any vintage


1 Josef Chromy Botrytis Riesling 2019 Silver

2 Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling 2019 Bronze



6 Freycinet Botrytis 2016 Gold

7 Riverdale Estate Botrytis Riesling 2014 Top Gold A small but lovely class with several highlights. The golds were contrasting styles, the old

riesling marvellously elegant and complex, the sauvignon blanc powerful with length and well-

handled oak.

Class 18 - Pinot Noir - 2019 vintage


1 Spring Vale "Melrose" Pinot Noir 2019 Bronze

Class 19 - Pinot Noir - 2018 vintage


1 Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

20 Milford Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

21 Ghost Rock Oulton Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

22 Quiet Mutiny Venus Rising 2018 Gold

24 Puddleduck Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

25 Bay of Fires Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

27 Spring Vale Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

28 Gala Estate, Pinot Noir-White label 2018 Silver

29 Bream Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

30 Dawson James Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

31 Tamar Ridge Estate Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

34 Frogmore Creek Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

35 Barringwood Estate Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

36 4 Of Us Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

38 Pipers Brook Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

39 Bangor Captain Spotswood Pinot Noir 2018 Top Gold

40 GlenAyr Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

41 Mapleton Pinot Noir 2018 Gold

43 Winstead Lot 16 Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

44 Laurel Bank Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

45 Bell & Gong Pinot Noir 2018 2018 Bronze

46 Ironhouse Pinot 2018 Bronze

47 Tamar Ridge Reserve Pinot Noir 2018 Gold

48 Lisdillon Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

50 Pepik Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

52 Ghost Rock Estate Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

53 Home Hill Kelly's Reserve Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

54 Shy Susan Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

55 Devil's Corner Resolution Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

57 Eddystone Point Pinot Noir 2018 Bronze

58 Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2018 Gold

59 Terre Verde Pinot Noir 2018 Silver

60 Bangor Abel Tasman Reserve 2018 Bronze An outstanding class of young pinot noir. There is consistency of style and a high level of

winemaking quality. Some wines were a little overripe, but most showed superb ripeness

levels. Tannins, oak and stems were mostly handled very well. We found lighter, finer, aromatic

wines of elegance and charm as well as richer, darker, black-cherry styles and many other

legitimate styles. This is a year to remember.

Class 20 - Pinot Noir - 2017 vintage (3 year old Pinot Noir Class)


1 Derwent Estate Lime Kiln Point Pinot Noir 2017 Silver

2 Goaty Hill Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

3 Derwent Estate Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

4 six friends Pinot Noir 2017 Top Gold

5 The Ridge North Lilydale Pinot Noir 2017 Silver

6 Pressing Matters Pinot Noir 2017 Silver

7 Boomer Creek Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

10 Beautiful Isle Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze


12 Gala Estate, Estate Pinot Noir- Black Label 2017 Bronze


14 Pressing Matters Cuvee C 2017 Silver

18 Goaty Hill Family Select-Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

20 Bream Creek Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir 2017 Silver

21 Bream Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

22 PAGES CREEK ESTATE 2017 Bronze

23 Tamar Ridge Single Block Pinot Noir 2017 Gold

24 Bishops Vineyard Pinot 2017 Bronze

25 Pooley Clarence House Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

26 Cape Bernier Pinot Noir 2017 Silver

27 Freycinet Pinot Noir 2017 Gold

29 Ouse River Wines Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

32 Milton Dunbabin Family Reserve 2017 Bronze

33 Gala Estate, Reserve Pinot Noir - Constable Amos 2017 Silver

34 Coal Valley Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

35 Clemens Hill Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze

37 Devil's Corner Mt Amos Pinot Noir 2017 Bronze A remarkably consistent class, even the colours were consistent: deep and dark. Fuller body

and abundant tannins are other hallmarks of the vintage. They are solid rather than delicate

wines and should reward some cellaring. Several wines had rather clunky tannins that

detracted. If criticism is to be levelled, it could be for a lack of wines that had detail and finesse.

Class 21 - Pinot Noir - 2016 vintage and older


1 Two Bud Spur Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 Silver

3 Bangor Abel Tasman Pinot Noir 2016 Bronze

4 Bream Creek Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir 2016 Silver

18 Milton Pinot Noir 2015 Bronze

19 six friends Pinot Noir 2015 Silver

20 Derwent Estate Pinot Noir 2015 Gold

21 Bream Creek Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir 2015 Bronze


23 Bangor Abel Tasman Pinot Noir 2014 Bronze


25 Dawson James Pinot Noir 2014 Bronze

26 Dunrobin Estate Rowena 2012 Bronze Top wines show freshness and clarity of fruit, balance and acidity. Some wines showed

premature development particularly amongst the 2016s. A high strike rate but high lights aren’t

super abundant.

Class 22 - Cabernet Sauvignon - any vintage


1 VELO WINE Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Silver

Class 23 - Cabernets: blends including Cabernet Sauvignon; other varieties and blends including Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot - any vintage


2 Winstead Merlot 2016 Bronze

3 Frogmore Creek Cabernet Franc 2014 Bronze

Class 24 - Shiraz - any vintage


1 Gala Estate, Syrah-Black Label 2018 Gold

2 Milton Shiraz 2018 Bronze

3 Riversdale Estate Syrah 2018 Bronze

4 Beautiful Isle Peacock Syrah 2018 Bronze

6 GlenAyr Shiraz 2017 Top Gold

10 Riversdale Estate Syrah 2016 Bronze A mixed class; several wines showed staleness, but there were also a couple of highlights that

really light the way for shiraz in Tasmania - one lighter, fresher, simpler with bright spicy fruit

and early drinking qualities, the other more structured and serious but still very elegant and

spicy. The future for shiraz in this state seems assured.

Class 25 - Rosé - any vintage


2 Mapleton Pinot Noir Rose 2019 Gold

3 Cabbage Tree Hill Pinot Rose 2019 Bronze

4 Bangor Maria Rosé 2019 Silver

5 Steve's Liquor No.7 Pinot Rose 2019 Silver

6 Derwent Estate Rosé 2019 Bronze

8 Bream Creek Vineyard Pinot Rosé 2019 Bronze

10 Riversdale Estate Rose 2019 Bronze

11 Cape Bernier Rosé 2019 Silver

14 Bruny Island Premium Wines Pinot Noir Rose 2019 Top Gold

16 Goaty Hill Rose 2019 Bronze

18 Gala Estate, Pinot Rose-White Label 2018 Silver

20 Mapleton Pinot Noir Rose 2018 Bronze

22 Roaring Beach Rose 2018 Silver A lot of reductive wines, some better handled than others. Some wines lacked freshness and

brightness. The fruit needs to be paramount.

Class 26 - All other red varieties, styles and blends - any vintage


1 Frogmore Creek Gamay 2017 Silver

Class 28a - Museum Sparkling wines, 10 years old (2010 and older)


1 Stefano Lubiana Vintage Brut 2009 Gold
