Seppeltsfield Wines 2024 Barossa Grenache has won Best Barossa Wine at the 2025 Barossa Wine Show, the awards lunch held today in the 1920 Vintage Cellar at Seppeltsfield Estate.
The wine also won Best Grenache and Best Red Wine.
The inaugural Centenarian Vineyard Wine Trophy was won by Saltram Wine Estates 2025 Winemakers Selection Semillon crafted from vines tended by Jordan Zerk.
Barossa Wine Show committee chair Tim Pelquest-Hunt said the new trophy was a milestone moment for the region.
“The Barossa Wine Show goes beyond medals, trophies and accolades,” he said.
“It is about setting higher standards, celebrating innovation and honouring our history.
“With 733 entries this year, the strength of participation shows the deep commitment of Barossa producers.
“We are especially proud to have launched the new Centenarian Vineyard Wine Trophy, recognising vines that have survived droughts, wars and recessions.
“These rare survivors of history remind us that we are contributing to something far bigger than ourselves.
“This year’s show has been a tremendous success, a true celebration of the Barossa’s enduring spirit, heritage and future ambition.”
Chair of judges Adam Wadewitz said, “The standout wines this year are a real triumph.
“The whites have been exceptional over the past few years and it was great to see them shine again, with Riesling showing incredible strength.
“Alongside that, Grenache continues to be in a really compelling position – as strong as I’ve ever seen it in the region.
“It’s super exciting to see these varieties not only holding their ground but leading the way.”
The Barossa Wine Show has been going since 1977.
