Sustainably certified wine producer, Penny’s Hill, continued its winning streak after its 2023 Yeenunga Grenache won Best in Show at the 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards.
The award-winning winery’s 2023 Single Vineyard Grenache was named Best Wine of Show at the recent 2024 McLaren Vale Wine Show. The same wine also recently claimed first place at the 2024 James Halliday Grenache Challenge, while the 2024 The Abstracts Grenache finished fourth out of 137 Grenache wines entered from across Australia.
Penny’s Hill Chief Winemaker, Alexia Roberts, who was also named the 2024 McLaren Vale Bushing Queen, says “it’s a proud moment for us”.
“… the awards reflect the hard work of our team and the exceptional terroir of McLaren Vale… showcasing the quality of our iconic vineyards, our precise winemaking, and our passion for producing world-class wines,” Alexia says.
The 2023 Penny’s Hill Single Vineyard Grenache took home five trophies at the 2024 McLaren Vale Wine Show. The awards included Best One Year Old Grenache, Best Single Vineyard Viticulturist, Best Single Vineyard Wine (in any style other than Shiraz), Best Grenache, and Best Wine of Show.
Sourced from 75-year-old bush vines at ‘The Springs’ vineyard in Blewitt Springs, this wine highlights the unique terroir of McLaren Vale, with a limited production of just 100 dozen bottles.
