ARMSTRONG\u2019S Miners Ridge Winery<\/em> had enormous success at last week’s Ballarat Wine Show, taking home three major awards, including the impressive Champion Wine of Show for their 2022 Shiraz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owners Katrina and Andrew Toomey have run Miners Ridge Winery for 26 years and were thrilled with the outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very excited and happy about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the announcement of winning the 2024 best Shiraz They announce the red wine of the show which was the 2022 Shiraz. And while we were getting our photo taken for that, they announced the champion of the show, for red and white, and it was the 2022 Miners Ridge Shiraz,\u201d Katrina said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a very small winery, and when you get recognition among the big boys, it\u2019s kind of nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miners Ridge has eight hectares of vines at their home block, producing limited quantities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that particular vintage (Shiraz) we made under 200 cases. We don\u2019t make much. Our wines are small-batch stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t enter wine shows with the expectation of winning a trophy. It\u2019s good to benchmark against the other big wineries to see where they sit. To actually win is mind-blowing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miners Ridge\u2019s 2022 Shiraz is priced at $25 a bottle, making this award-winning wine accessible to a wide audience.<\/p>\n

This win highlights the potential of smaller wineries to stand out among industry giants.<\/p>\n

The Ballarat Wine Show also awarded top honours to other wineries:<\/p>\n

Grampians Estate was also a winner with its \u2018Woolclassers\u2019 Grenache Shiraz Tempranillo 2022 winning the Best Other Red.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
