Reasons to enter………….

Gold, Silver and Bronze The value of winning a medal can be enormous in terms of marketing power,

even for those who don’t win, just entering gives wine producers the

opportunity to benchmark their wines and perhaps improve it. In this way the

RAST believes the Royal Hobart Wine Show is an important contributor to the

development of fine Australian wines.

Each year, the Wine Show attracts wine entries from all around Australia, with

judging undertaken by a panel of international, national and Tasmanian

experts.

The prestigious RAST Trophy - Best Pinot Noir sponsored by Etihad Airways

is the major prize and attracts pinot noir entries from all over Australia. The

winner of this prestigious trophy receives a return Coral economy class trip for

two people to Paris flying with Etihad Airways.

40 years of experience & history……..

The Royal Agricultural Society of Tasmania traces its history back to 1821

when a group of residents of Van Diemans Land corresponded with the

Official Secretary and gained approval for the establishment of a Society for

the protection of animals. Tasmania has the distinction of being the first

colony in Australia to form an Agricultural Society when the “Van Diemans

Land Agricultural Society” was formed in Hobart Town on 1st January 1822.

The first show was conducted in January 1822, in the Old Market Place, just

in front of the present State Parliament House.

The first Royal Hobart Wine Show was held in conjunction with the Royal

Hobart Show 22 to 25 October 1974, entries totalled 382.

Since 1974 the Royal Hobart Wine Show has grown and entries have

increased to over 2,500 on average with a peak entry record of 3,254. The

Wine show now enlists international judges to join the panel of judges from all

over Australia. Just to mention a few, John Avery - UK, Clive Torr - South

Africa, John Belsham - NZ, Kent Tsiang - China, Emma Roberts - UK.

The Royal Hobart Wine Show is the only wine show in Australia with Certified

Quality Management accreditation ISO 9001 which is strictly adhered to and

audited each year.

the minimum wine quantity specified must have been bottled or will be bottled by the commencement of judging on 15 November 2014. The entry number for half bottles is double that for 750 ml bottles.

8) The qualifying stock volume of wine for each class is 2250 litres for all entrants except for Tasmanain entrants whose qualifying stock volume is 225 litres for each class.

9) A further six bottles will be required in the event that the entry wins a Gold Medal.

10) Entries will be awarded points (on the 20 point scale) by the judges and aggregate trophy points per Regulation 11 will be set out in the list of awards. Certificates for Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals will be issued to award winners.

11) Points for aggregate trophies will be allocated according to the following scale:

Points GOLD AWARD 5 SILVER AWARD 3 BRONZE AWARD 1

12) The Tasmanian exhibitor accruing the highest aggregate score receives the Most Successful Tasmanian exhibitor award.

13) Entries must be made on forms supplied by the Society for that purpose. Exhibitors must state on the entry form the class to be competed for, the name under which the wine is marketed, vintage, the grape varieties contained therein, their proportions, whether the wine is wooded or not, the alcohol content and that the stipulated quantity will be in stock at the time of judging. (See also Regulation 14).

14) There is no restriction on the number of entries in any one class, but no exhibit may be entered more than once, regardless of class, even if bottled under a different label and/or by a different exhibitor. However, entries in Fortified classes are restricted to only two entries by any one entrant in any one class.

15) All bottles received by the RAST must carry the identifying RAST Wine Show Label provided, and must show: a) the year of the competition; b) the number of the class; c) the year of the vintage; d) the grape varieties and proportions

thereof; e) the alcohol content. Incorrect or incomplete information on the entry form may result in the disqualification of the entry.

18) In addition to the RAST Wine Show Label, exhibitors must have their own commercial label, or an accurate facsimile, on the bottle with the RAST Wine Show Label placed on the back of the bottle. Bottles not carrying the RAST Wine Show Label will be excluded from judging. The RAST label must be placed so that on at least one bottle of the entry the variety(ies), vintage, and vineyard name (if applicable) on the commercial label(s) are clearly visible.

These include the Customs and Excise Act and Regulations, Health Act and Regulations, and the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation Act 1980.

26) In all classes, the wine stock as stated on the entry form may be inspected and checked by a representative of the Society or its nominee at any time between the closing date for entries and the completion of judging.

Judges Comments:A solid consistent class with only one real stand out. The gold showed lovely purity of fruit with excellent balance. Silvers were well made wines displaying good Chardonnay varietal flavours but lacked the poise to go further. Non award wines were either advanced or had too much obvious residual sugar showing through.

Judges Comments:A good class showing the immense improvement in Chardonnay winemaking and grape growing in the last 15 years withing Australia. Best wines showed great complexity but had fruit to balance the winemaker artifacts that were implemented into the wines to make them stand out Negatives were overripe and over-oaked wines which were broad and flabby and also under ripe flavours which gave pseudo greens to the wines which are undesirable.

Judges Comments:A super class with a high percentage of golds and silvers. Top wines were complex, harmonious with the fruit, oak and winemaker artefact in check and showed excellent poise. The top gold decision was a tough one with the four golds varied in style and very good quality. Major negatives were that some wines were slightly high in residual sugar or advanced but overall a very good tasting experience.
