137th Annual Wine Show Wrap Up

The 137th Annual Rutherglen Wine Show has drawn to a close, marking another outstanding year of celebrating excellence in Australian winemaking. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our 12 judges and 10 associate judges for their expertise and dedication throughout the event. The highlight of this year’s show was undoubtedly the continued growth in our Iberian entries — a fitting tribute to Rutherglen’s deep connection with fortified and emerging Iberian varieties. Finally, we wish to thank all our exhibitors for their ongoing support; it is your passion and participation that make the Rutherglen Wine Shows such a proud and enduring tradition.
