Decanter World Wine Awards – Results

This is a wrap up of the Australian Medal Winners from the 2009 Decanter World Wine Awards.
Big congratulations to De Bortoli, Shingleback, Morris, Longview, Wolf Blass & Nepenthe.

Personally I think the winners here represent some very fine wines – a nice change from some wine show results. The gold medal winners in particular look very strong across the range – found myself nodding with plenty of the winners.
