Chairman of judges Jeff Byrne said the judges were pleased with the quality of wines entered in this year’s show.
Mr Byrne said the 2017 shiraz and 2017 chardonnay were strong classes in the show, while the sparkling and riesling classes provided a good surprise.
The judges also awarded 67 silver medals, 155 bronze medals and 19 trophies.
The show’s best white wine was the Thomas Wines 2013 Cellar Reserve Braemore Semillon. The show’s best red wine was the Ballinaclash 2017 Thomas Cabernet Sauvignon.
