A Few More Awards & Accolades...

We are thrilled to announce that our boutique winery in the Hunter Valley has recently received numerous accolades for our exceptional wines. As a small, family-operated business, we are immensely proud of these prestigious honors.

First off we attended the Hunter Valley Wine Show, where Thomas Wines took home not one but two prestigious trophies at the lunch. We are beyond proud to say our 2021 Kiss Shiraz was awarded the James Busby Memorial Trophy for Best Mature Three-Year-Old and Older Shiraz, as well as the Len Evans Trophy for Best Single Vineyard Red Wine. Meanwhile our 2022 Kiss Shiraz also took gold. 

Congratulations to all the other winners from the event and a big round of applause to the organisers for a very smooth event! We are so lucky to be a part of the Hunter Valley wine community filled with so many talented winemakers.

Our next piece of news comes in the form of an announcement by The Real Review. They announced that 77 Australian wines have been newly included in their 2024 Wine Classification of Australia. This prestigious classification recognizes the greatest wines of Australia and New Zealand with an outstanding track record of at least a decade.

While this is not the first time a Thomas Wines wine has been included on this list, we are thrilled to share that our Braemore Cellar Reserve Semillon is one of only four newly classified wines to receive the distinguished 3-Merit rating. This is a true testament to the exceptional quality and consistency of our Braemore Semillon.

We invite you to experience this award-winning wine for yourself. Grab a bottle of our 2017 Braemore Cellar Reserve Semillon and discover why it has earned such high praise. Or join us at our cellar door on 31st August to celebrate the release of the 2024 Semillon range and the 2018 Braemore Cellar Reserve Semillon. The soon-to-be released 2018 Braemore Cellar Reserve Semillon also received 94 points Silver from Halliday’s. Definitely a wine to watch!

Finally, we are excited to share that once again, Thomas Wines has received a 5-Red Star Rating from Halliday’s and our 2022 The Dam Block Single Vineyard Shiraz received 96 Gold rating. 

MW, Toni Paterson had this to say about it and we could not agree more:

“From a tiny 0.8 ha block comes this structural, flavoursome, dark-fruited gem. It is beautifully composed with glorious dark fruits, a svelte palate, magical spice and a hint of lilac. It is already starting to bloom and will be magnificent with age.”
