A significant event on the Wine Show calendar as it is the only Wine Show in WA that caters specifically for the smaller producer (those that produce under 250 tonnes); allowing the wines to be judged by some of the country's leading wine critics.  This years event saw 241 entries by 42 producers.  The judging panel of Tony Davis (Snake & Herring), Ryan Aggiss (Aravina Estate) and Digby Leddin (Lamonts, Swan Valley) were very pleased with the quality of wines and awarded medals to 77% of entries.​

SILVER MEDAL - 2016 Royal Melbourne Wine Awards:
Judges comments:  "Elegant, power, rich style".
The medal and trophy winners of the 2016 Royal Melbourne Wine Awards have been announced with local winery Whimwood Estate Wines receiving Silver Medal after judging was completed over a week in October at Melbourne Showgrounds.

Entering the awards for the first time this year, the owners said the win would help grow their business.
“As a first time entrant, we were thrilled to receive this award, which gives us the confidence that we are producing great wines,” said Vignerons and vineyard owners Steve Johnstone and Maree Tinker.
The Royal Melbourne Wine Awards is the most respected wine show in Australia, conducted by The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria for 131 years, and received over 3100 entries from over 500 exhibitors this year.

A panel of 35 industry experts assessed the thousands of entries over five days, overseen by Chief Winemaker, Yabby Lake Vineyard and previous Jimmy Watson Trophy winner Tom Carson.

The Royal Melbourne Wine Awards is the most respected wine show in Australia, conducted by The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria for over 130 years.​

HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
​​There are always jobs to do in the vineyard, but mainly in November we are monitoring the vines for flower development, getting ready for berry formation.  The rain has brought more weeds and mowing than normal and shoot development is powering along.  Next we will be lifting the first set of wires and continue with monitoring and preventative maintenance.
 
People have asked if the rain (hail and wind…) has had an impact on the vineyard.  It can yes, but up to now, the vineyard has been able to handle the extreme weather conditions.  In saying that if those weather conditions continued we would have damage.  The new shoots are fragile and can easily snap off which is why we lift the wires to hold the shoots/canopy upright and protect the shoots.  Fortunately, it looks like the unseasonal weather is behind us!  Touch some wood people…
