“The 37th Victorian Wine Show’s impressive line-up of almost 770 wines were judged by some of Australia’s most respected winemakers and sommeliers, along with top international judges New Zealand’s Jim Harre and China’s Jade Li. Chief Judge Jim Harre, stated “This year the chardonnay class showed a lot of elegance, with a lovely richness of flavour, balanced, and with a touch of sulphide giving it real complexity.” This was evident in the 2018 Pennon Hill Chardonnay that claimed the best wine of show.
