2016 VIC100 Wines Announced
We are thrilled to have both our 2016 Pinot Gris and 2016 Sauvignon Blanc make the list for Victoria’s TOP100 Wines.
Check out the list below!
Have you checked out the top 100 yet? We can’t wait to tell you who’s won the Yarra Valley Dairy, Complete Colour and CAPI regional trophies, and of course the VIC ONE at the Graphix Labels and Packaging VIC100 Awards night September 16.
Your guide to Victoria’s best wines of the year has arrived. After hundreds of tastings and days of deliberation, our judges have picked 100 of the state’s most finely produced wines to make up this year’s list of wines you must try.
The 2016 VIC100 features wines from across 18 regions and more than 25 varieties – a reflection of the class, range and ability of our state’s winemakers.
VIC100 Head Judge and Curator Nick Stock said that the outstanding quality of the wines submitted, and the razor sharp palates of the experienced judges, had resulted in an outstanding collection of wines for the 2016 VIC100.
“An exciting event awaits at Fed Square on Saturday September 17th when we preview this year’s 100 greatest wines at the VIC100 Festival of Wine,” Stock said.
A tremendous thank you to our 2016 judges, and their discerning palates, who were:
- Chris Crawford, Crown General Manager, Beverage
- Dan Buckle, Domaine Chandon Senior Winemaker
- Lisa Jenkins, Mac Forbes Sales and Brand Manager
- Simon Steele, Medhurst Wines Winemaker
- Steve Webber, De Bortoli Yarra Valley Winemaker
- Tessa Brown, Vignerons Schmolzer and Brown Winemaker.
