WINEMAKING SUCCESS

The results are in !
The 2021 Riesling, made by the St Joseph’s School’s Young Winemaker Program in conjunction with Ballandean Estate, is an all-round winner.
St Joseph's School was recently awarded a silver medal at the National School Wine Competition at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show. It was the only white wine from a school outside of South Australia to get the award.

Success continued on Wednesday 20th October, where St Joseph's was also awarded a bronze medal at the Australian Small Winemakers Show in Stanthorpe and accumulated enough points to win the Champion School Produced Wine prize. Our wine scored higher than about half of the 63 commercially produced Rieslings in the competition.

Well done to all of the students involved in the program this year and thanks to Mr Lahey, Mr Armstrong, Ballandean Estate, Severn River Valley Vineyard, and winemaker, Dylan Rhymer!

If you would like to taste this medal winning Granite Belt Riesling, you can! It is available from the cellar door at Ballandean Estate. This outstanding wine will cost $7/bottle and $84/case. Please limit your purchase to 2 cases. Quantity is strictly limited.

As further incentive, one of the cases of wine has a bottle with an upside-down label. If you find this bottle, please get in touch with the school to receive a small gift basket.
