Entered 22 of my alternative variety trial wines into the @GeographeWine Show. The wines were judged in the commercial classes and totally blind. Results - 9 bronze, 4 silver and 4 gold medal scores! Considering only 20 golds in the whole show I’m very pleased with the results.

@TasteGeorgia @edentravels I’ve been evaluating the potential of Saperavi in Western Australia for over a decade and I’ve concluded it’s a winner.

@DPIRDWA A replicated trial block of 14 clones of Cabernet Sauvignon derived from France, California, south Australia and Western Australia planted at @HowardParkWines Leston vineyard in Margaret River. A great long term asset to contribute to the continual improvement of WA’s Cabernet
