The fellowship grants funds to further the winemaker's knowledge in the national and international wine industry through travel, training and education. We are extremely proud of Liam and his amazing achievement.

On this incredible result the RQWA said:

Following four days of judging, we can now reveal the winner of Australia's best wine! Congratulations to Lowestoft's Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021.

It beat 1,430 wines from 212 Australian wineries and also claimed the historic Stodart Trophy for the best red table wine of show.”

On the Single Vineyard winning Wine of Show, Best Pinot Noir and Best Red Wine, Liam said:

"The team and I are thrilled that our 2021 Lowestoft Single Vineyard [Woodlands] Pinot Noir has achieved these enormous accolades. We are also humbled when we see the other Gold medal wines from seriously established producers.

Huge thanks must go to Paul Laing, our fantastic grower, who consistently delivers amazing Pinot Noir from his Coal Valley Vineyard. We’ve had a dream run with our Lowestoft Pinot Noir wines over the past six months and we’re really proud to be showcasing another epic and very unique Southern Tasmanian vineyard site."

We are thrilled for chief winemaker Liam McElhinney and the whole team at Lowestoft on their sensational achievement.
