Ainsworth & Snelson winners again in prestigious Halliday Ratings

5-Star Winery Status Achived once more in new guide published August 2009

We are proud to have once more achieved an exclusive '5-Star Winery' rating in James Halliday's 2010 Wine Companion. The Wine Companion is regarded as Australia's definitive wine and winery valuation and rating system.

Winemaker and co-founder Brett Snelson said: "It's really affirming to receive this kind of accolade, especially when you consider who our peers are in this regard - long-standing legends of the Australian wine landscape. Gregg and I are extremely proud. It means our philosophy of producing elegant wines which display the characteritsics of 'Australian terroir' is one that is gaining the respect of the most influential commentators".

What Does a 5-Star Halliday Winery Rating Mean?:

“Outstanding winery capable of producing wines of very high quality, and did so this year”
