Awards & Accolades

Our 2024 Mount Barker Estate Riesling was awarded the trophy for the Best Riesling at the 2024 Sanector Wine Show of Western Australia. Taking home gold for a wine is already a great feeling, but to have our expression of a hallmark Great Southern varietal win the category is particularly fantastic. Chief Winemaker Andrew Vesey said it was a great start for a tricky 2024 vintage – to have the recognition of the WA wine show, particularly for Riesling which can be tough to nail in challenging seasons!

In 2024, the Wine Show of Western Australia celebrated its 47th edition, cementing its reputation as one of the nation’s premier showcases of WA wines. Exclusively judging Western Australian wines, the event reflects the state’s dynamic wine industry and offers enthusiasts a taste of its finest creations. With nearly five decades of tradition, the show continues to highlight the innovation and excellence of Western Australian winemakers.
