And Yalumba Hand Picked Shiraz Viognier 2018 was awarded The CCL Label Trophy, Best Red Wine Other Blends.
Additionally, Australia’s oldest family owned winery received five Gold, four Silver and 11 Bronze medals.
Yalumba Senior Winemaker Kevin Glastonbury attended the Barossa Wine Show dinner and accepted the awards on behalf of the Yalumba winemaking team.
Head of Winemaking Louisa Rose said: “Recognition from wine shows is always a good indication that we’re doing things right. It’s lovely to receive these awards, especially from a wine show in our own backyard.”
“I continue to see so many great wines coming out of Barossa and it’s nice to sit among some of the best in the region and the country."
