Die Orange Weinwoche im Oktober gibt immer eine gute Indikation für das Abschneiden von cool climate Weinen in den Weinshows landauf und -ab.

Kein Anderer als der Chef der De Bortoli Wines aus dem Yarra Valley in Victoria war in diesem Jahr erneut (und damit zum zweiten Mal) Chief Wine Judge und er schwärmte von den Fortschritten, welche die Winzer in der Region dreieinhalb Stunden westlich von Sydney gelegen in den vergangenen 12 Monaten gemacht haben.

Orange hat sich zu einer bedeutenden Region Australiens entwickelt, insbesondere Pinotweine finden hier ideale Bedingungen vor. Der Gewinn einer Gold Medal ausgerechnet bei der New Zealand International Wine Show durch Brangayne aus Orange macht das umso mehr deutlich.

Wir freuen uns natürlich über diese Nachrichten, denn einer unserer Top-favoriten aus Orange…

The judges for the 2010 Orange Wine Show included Chief Judge, Steve Webber (De Bortoli Wines), Matt Harrop (Shadowfax Wines), Ken Gargett and Associate Judge Marc Udy (Philip Shaw Wines).
 
Steve Webber commented that he was pleased to be able to judge the Orange Wine Show for the second year running, mentioning that “Orange is a really important wine region in Australia.”
 
Mr Webber noted Orange’s “amazing potential for aromatic wines” and said that they had tasted some “really beautiful pinots.” “We found one that was almost artisan in its style and quite an exciting wine.”  
 
Orange winemakers continue to have success in the Australian and international wine show circuits, with recent wins including a number of wines in the NSW Wine Awards Top 40, as well as a gold medal in the 2010 New Zealand International Wine Show for the 2009 Brangayne Pinot Noir.
 
The wines from the show, including all trophy and medal winning wines were presented at the Orange Wine Show Public Tasting on Friday 1st October in a lead up to the 2010 Orange Wine Week which commences on 22 October.
