Australian wines have taken home a swag of prizes at the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards.abc.net.au/news/australian-wine-wins-decanter-world-wine-awards/102454142Australian wines have been labelled "the best in the world" after dominating a prestigious international wine awards.
Margaret River was particularly celebrated, with three of the top 50 wines from the lush South West WA wine-growing region. "If there is a 'winning region' in this year's Top 50 Best in Show selection, it has to be Western Australia's Margaret River," the Decanter World Wine Awards declared.Bruce Dukes received a coveted 'Best in Show' for his 2020 Domaine Naturaliste Rebus cabernet sauvignon, grown in Wilyabrup, just shy of three hours south of Perth."It is exciting because Decanter is simply the pinnacle of it all.
Australian wines were represented across the Best Show, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze awards, prompting US news outlet CNN to declare Australia as the "home of the best wines in the world for 2023."While there is often industry cynicism toward wine awards, educator, judge and award-winning sommelier, Leanne Altmann said Decanter's awards carried international credibility, and the results were significant for Australia's growing wine identity.
"In an international context, where you've got the world's best tasters awarding some of these wines so highly, I hope it causes people to say, 'Why did they get such a great score?'" Ms Altmann said."Maybe people will take the opportunity to taste those wines that won the awards, or maybe they'll explore a little bit further — it might just open that door to people trying Australian wines and better understanding them.
