The recognition and awards of late... A sign of things to come!
The second week of March was a busy one for the Ross Hill folk with the remaining harvest being hinged on the enormous amounts of rain and the announcement of some terrific results and awards to put a feather in our hats!
The NSW Wine Week feature in the Good Living on March 9th names Ross Hill in the Top 10 for the 2009 Pinnacle Pinot Gris & the 2008 Thomas Cabernet Sauvignon.
More than 100 wineries are taking part in the NSW Cellar Door event in Hyde Park on Sunday March 14th of which Ross Hill Wines will also be showing its wares. In the Good Living article Huon Hooke selects 10 of the wines - and wineries - NOT TO MISS! Congratulations also goes to our fellow Orange vigneron and friend Philip Shaw who also picked up a recognition. Cheers to that!
