Brothers Damon and Jono Koerner from Koerner Wine in the Clare Valley have won the top 2019 Riedel Young Gun of Wine award.
Their trophy was presented this week at an industry event in Adelaide.
The duo (below) were lauded for Koerner's 2018 ‘Grace’ Riesling and 2018 ‘La Corse’ Red Wine.
“It’s a thrill to win such a great award with my brother, doing something we love and have so much fun doing,” Damon said.
Young Gun of Wine founder Rory Kent added: “The ‘La Corse’ is a blend of varieties which includes Sciacarello – a grape native to the French island of Corsica. This wine is the epitome of what today’s customer wants: a light, bright, easy-drinking red, with layers of interest in the glass – it’s awesome, and all with the aesthetic appeal of Koerner’s preppy packaging.
