WALLINGTON winemakers Oakdene Vineyards have emerged as the top local producers at the 2024 Geelong Wine Show.<\/p>\n

The Grubb Road establishment was awarded five awards, headlined by the Best in Show honour for its 2023 Single Vineyard Liz’s Chardonnay.<\/p>\n

Oakdene also swirled up a win for Best Sparking (Oakdene 2019 Matilda Blanc de Noirs), Best Pinot Noir (2023 Peta’s Pinot Noir) and Best Oak Matured Chardonnay (2023 Single Vineyard Liz’s Chardonnay).<\/p>\n

The 25th edition of the Geelong Wine Show brought together more than 50 large and small producers to showcase the quality and diversity of local wines.<\/p>\n

The show offered winegrowers a benchmarking opportunity for their wines, and the chance to receive valuable feedback from esteemed winemakers.<\/p>\n

Oakdene Vineyards winemaker Steven Paul said his team were thrilled with their success.<\/p>\n

“It’s always lovely to get some recognition from judges at a wine show, particuarly when it falls your way.<\/p>\n

“It’s great for our team at the vineyard and winery to know we are on the right track to making the wines we want to make.”<\/p>\n

Mr Paul said excellent recent fruit quality has held them in good stead to produce top wines.<\/p>\n

“The fruit quality has been excellent, and of course you’ve got to start with a good raw product.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had a great run with all our wines, particularly with the Liz’s Chardonnay.<\/p>\n

“It’s taken top honours here [Geelong], and has also won best in show at the Ballarat Wine Show and top honours twice at the French Australian Chamber of Commerce Concours Des Vins du Victoria.<\/p>\n

“It’s amazing to have that consistently.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully it puts us front of mind when people are looking towards what wines to buy for Christmas.”<\/p>\n
