Categories and Judging
Categories and Judging
Entries are judged by three panels, with each panel being chaired by a leading figure of Australian wine. In 2024 our panels will be led by our new Chair of Show Mr Adam Walls.
The awards are divided into categories: Best Chardonnay, Semillon, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris / Grigio, Other white single varietals, White Blends, light red (Rose), Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Other single red varietals, and Red blends as well as the Dry Red and Dry White trophies, Sparkling and Sweet wines.
There is also an award for the Best Organic Wine in the show and the Chair of Judges Award. This award is given to a wine from a particular wine region that really impressed our Chair of Judges. Each year a different region is selected to reflect what is topical in the NSW wine industry.
Out of all the award winning wines, one is selected for the ultimate Trophy - the ‘NSW Governor’s Best in Show’ - presented by the Governor of New South Wales, Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC
QC.
Judging
Where better to host Australia's first state of wine awards than the iconic International Convention Centre Sydney. Our major event partner provides the perfect backdrop for the judging, trade event, and awards ceremony - a fitting stage for the stars of NSW Wine to shine.
