The Sydney Royal Wine show judges sampled entries from 1,800 wineries and say Australia's offerings are going from strength to strength.
"In Australia we seem to be embracing the fact that we've got no boundaries or restrictions on what we can blend and from where," Ms Crowe said.
"The world sent Australia a message: 'Thanks for all the shiraz and chardonnay, do you have anything else?'" she said."We've judged gamay next to malbec, sangiovese," she said.Ms Rubin gave the guest international judge's award to George's Folly Wines, based at Port Willunga in South Australia, for its 2021 Pigs Might Fly Montepulciano/nero d'Avola.
Tasmania still produces the best sparkling in Australia — the House of Arras picked up the award for its 2015 House of Arras Grand Vintage."They spent a year growing it, a year making it — they've been holding onto that wine, letting that get better for nine years now," she said.Ms Rubin is encouraging Australian winemakers to let their products age for longer.
