The Labelmakers Perth Hills Wine Show is over for another year.
There were 74 entries from 13 exhibitors which was a fantastic achievement given that the event itself was in doubt up until recently due to the effects of the COVID19 pandemic.
Chief Judge, Mark Warren from Happs and Marq Wines along with Josephine Perry from Dormilona Wines, Troy Overstone from Sandalford and Associate Judge Jordan Kuchel spent many hours deliberating over the entries and we had some fantastic results. A big thank you also to our “unofficial” chief steward, Freya Hohnen who kept the judges on track, deciphered their handwriting and brought a ray of sunshine to the day.
8 Gold medals
14 Silver medals
28 Bronze medals

In a week’s time, the Labelmakers Perth Hills Wine Show will take place. Due to COVID-19, some changes were made to this year’s event which in essence has closed it off to the public for this year. We hope that life will be back to some normality sooner rather than later and that we can move ahead with a wonderful celebration in 2021 with supporters of the Perth Hills Wine Region and the wineries that it comprises.
One thing we are so grateful for, is the ongoing support our sponsors have shown us. Without them, this event would not take place at all. We encourage everyone to show them some support in return and look to using their services should you ever need to.
