This prestigious competition celebrates wines produced from grape varieties originating from the regions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, including Spain, Southern France, Italy, Greece, North Africa and the Islands of Corsica, Sardina and Sicily.  As Australian wine producers continue to embrace these arities for their adaptability, character and regional expression, the Show provides an outstanding platform to benchmark, promote and celebrate their achievements.

We are proud that this year’s judging panel will again be chaired by Ramon Arnavas of Negociant Australia one of the country’s most respected wine professionals.  Under his leadership, an experienced panel of judges will assess entries with a focus on quality, varietal integrity, regional expression and excellence in winemaking.
