2025 in Accolades
November 2025
As we head towards the end of the year, we look back at what 2025 has brought us in accolades.
The 2025 National Wine Show of Australia awarded us 95 points for our 2015 G+G Single Vineyard Riesling, Classic Museum Release.
The 2026 Halliday Wine Companion not only recognised us as a 5 Red Star Winery, but also highlighted our new 2023 Lidster & Nashdale Pinot Noirs, both receiving 95 points — maintaining the same rating and excellence as the previous vintage!
Later in the year, the 2025 Orange Wine Show honoured our 2022 Shiraz and our yet-to-be-released Gilbert Riesling RS11 with 95 points each — two Golds that truly represent the best of the Orange Wine Region.
Last but not least, at the 2025 Cathay Global Wine & Spirits Awards Asia, our 2017 G+G Single Vineyard Riesling, Museum Release made its debut and was named Best Riesling and Best Wine from Australia of the show!
Here’s to many more milestones in our winemaking journey!
2026 Halliday 5 Red Star Winery
October 2025
We’re thrilled to share that we have been awarded 5 Red Stars in the 2026 Halliday Wine Companion—a distinction reserved for the best wineries in Australia!
This recognition is given to outstanding wineries that consistently produce wines of exceptional quality and authenticity.
This honour is a true reflection of the passion, precision, and hard work poured into every bottle by our entire team. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey.
The journey continues—one vintage at a time!
A tribute to our trio of Traditional Méthode wines
September 2025
We still remember it like it was yesterday — the moment we were notified that our first release of our Blanc de Blancs was awarded Sparkling of the Year in the 2023 Halliday Wine Companion.
2016 Gilbert Blanc de Blancs – Sparkling of the Year
The pride and sense of reward we felt at the time were true proof of how hard work and consistency pay off.
Today, we’re proud to have released the second vintages of our Méthode Traditionelle and Blanc de Blancs — both following in their predecessors’ footsteps, each now holding 95 points in the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion.
We’ve also made it a trio of fine bubbles with the first-ever release of our Rosé Méthode Traditionelle, which takes things a step further with an impressive 96 points.
All three are proudly sourced from the cool-climate region of Orange — our signature terroir.
