Tyrell’s Wines takes home a trophy cabinet at Royal Adelaide Wine Show
The winners of both the Royal Adelaide Wine Show and Royal Australian Spirit Awards have been announced, with Tyrell’s Wines garnering multiple awards.
Hunter Valley producer Tyrell’s Wines has claimed three major trophies at the 2024 Royal Adelaide Wine and Spirit Awards.
Tyrell’s Wines’ iconic Vat 1 Semillon, one of Australia’s most celebrated white wines, won the George Fairbrother Memorial Trophy for the most outstanding white wine in show, sponsored by Duxton Capital Australia.
The family-owned winery also received The Gramp, Hardy, Hill-Smith Prize for National Wine of Provenance for their Steven’s Semillon. Head winemaker Andrew Spinaze was additionally recognised with The F Miller & Co Prize for Winemaker of the National Wine of Provenance.
Western Australian producer Devil’s Lair took home the prestigious Max Schubert AM Trophy for the most outstanding red wine in show with their Cabernet Sauvignon. This follows their earlier win for Best Red Wine in Show at the 2024 National Wine Show of Australia.
Jim Barry Wines secured the Governor’s Trophies for both Best South Australian White and Red in Show, with their Florita Riesling and Barry Brothers GSM, respectively.
The TAFE SA Trophy for Champion Spirit in Show went to St Agnes Distiller for their St Agnes XO, Distilled. This achievement caps off a successful year for the Riverland Distillery, which was also named Australia’s Champion Distiller at the 2024 Melbourne Royal Australian Distilled Spirits Awards.
“The Royal Adelaide Wine and Spirit Awards attract some of Australia’s finest wines, and more than 2,200 entries from across the country,” said Greg Follett, Chair of the Royal Adelaide Wine Committee.
