“Mudgee Riesling is in a pretty good place at the moment,” said Jacob Stein. “It was one of the most highly contests classes at the show, with a good range of Rieslings from across the region being awarded. This was in both the current vintages as well as the museum class.”
“What is also rewarding is the Gold Medals were awarded across a range of our varieties. It certainly gives us confidence that we are working in the right direction with regard to wine quality. Mudgee as a region is continuing to lift the quality of its wines; it’s an exciting time for the region and its wines.”
