THE judging is complete and the winners have been announced for the 15th annual Dookie Wine Show, 2018.
This year saw a record high number of entries in the Dookie Wine Show and with a surprise increase in numbers and quality in ‘other white wines.’
Overall Allira has been a proven performer in the Goulburn Valley for the last 10 years. Maygar’s Hill is always up there in contention to win a class and in recent years St. Anne’s Winery from Perricoota (just outside of Echuca) have been doing well at the Dookie Wine Show.
Gapsted Winery from the King Valley was a new entry to the show winning two classes and Antcliff’s Winery also entered the show for the first time and won the ‘Other Whites’ class, which was the strongest class overall.
Dookie Wine Show chair, Paul Phillips said, “Overall the wines this year have been outstanding in quality and particularly in the area of Shiraz and ‘other white wines,’ the bar has been well and truly lifted. Now we look forward to the Dookie Wine Show dinner where the wine of the show will be unveiled.”
