Competing fiercely with Victoria, Tasmania, and NSW’s Hunter Valley, SA’s talent shines across categories, including Winery and Winemaker of the Year. Bekkers and Koomilya battle for top winery honors, while three SA winemakers and viticulturists vie for their respective titles. The big reveal is August 19th—this is Australia’s wine moment, and South Australia is setting the standard. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
