The much anticipated Halliday Wine Companion results are in…
We’re delighted to share the fabulous news that Campbells has retained our Red Five Star winery rating for the 13th year in a row! In addition, all of the wines we submitted gained over 90 points, with many of our table wines receiving brilliant accolades.
Jeni Port said about our Bobbie Burns Shiraz 2017 (94 points (SILVER)) “Always good value, Bobbie Burns has legions of fans. Vintage ’17, a top year in Rutherglen, won’t disappoint with a generous, expressive wine with a solid, quality fruit base. It offers some arresting spice, dark chocolate and dense black fruit aromas. Packs a lot of character on the palate, the oak (sweet, vanilla) and supple tannins and a touch of Aussie bush and mint, enough to make an ex-pat jump on the next plane. A load of class.”
Once again, our Muscats and Topaques wowed the judges, scoring results in the high 90’s. The crowning jewels this year were our Isabella Rare Rutherglen Topaque & Merchant Prince Rare Rutherglen Muscat, which received 97 and 98 points respectively. A big thank you to our amazing vineyard and wine making teams for crafting these magic wines, bring on 2022!
