The Best Dry Red Table Wine of the 2022 Rutherglen Wine Show was won by Jen Pfeiffer 2021 Rock It Like A Redhead The Diamond Shiraz.
The show incorporated the Australian Fortified Wine Show with the Best Australian Fortified Muscat gong to Campbells Wines NV Rare Rutherglen Muscat
The show was judged by a panel from around Australia led by chair Andrew Santarossa.
More than 1,000 wines were judged over the course of the two shows from across 151 exhibitors.
Chris Pfeiffer, chairman of the Wine Show Committee said, “The show highlighted the challenges coming from the 2020 vintage, with few entries received from this vintage.”
A highlight of the Rutherglen Wine Show was the strength of the Shiraz classes, with a variety of styles rewarded.
“Our judging panel was thrilled by the quality of all exhibits in the Australian Fortified Wine Show and lament the shrinking number of exhibits, which is reflective of less winemakers making these styles,” Chris said.
