The Victoria Pavilion at the Melbourne Showgrounds recently hosted a glorious luncheon to reveal the esteemed winners of the 2023 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards, proudly presented by vintrace. This prestigious event has stood as an eminent beacon in the Australian winemaking realm for well over a century, spotlighting and commending exceptional achievements in the industry.

On Friday 3 November, the 2023 winners of the country’s most prestigious wine event, the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards (MRWA), were announced at a presentation luncheon at the iconic Victoria Pavilion at Melbourne Showgrounds.

In the heart of the Grampians, amid the breathtaking landscapes of Victoria's winemaking region, there lies a hidden gem – Fallen Giants Vineyard. This picturesque estate, home to some of Australia's most remarkable Shiraz vines, has been gaining recognition for its exceptional wines.

In the picturesque region of Margaret River, Western Australia, Glenn Goodall, the Senior Winemaker at Xanadu Wines, stands as a testament to the possibilities that can unfold when passion, dedication, and a touch of serendipity converge.

The Australian wine industry is a realm of passion, dedication, and craftsmanship, where winemakers like Andrew Quin of Hentley Farm have pursued excellence year after year. In 2022, Quin's dedication bore fruit in the form of the coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, awarded for his exceptional 2021 Old Legend Grenache. As we gear up for the 60th awarding of this prestigious award, Andrew Quin's story serves as an inspiration for both established and aspiring winemakers across the country.
