In an extraordinary result, South Australian winemakers have taken home three of the six national trophies, including the top title, the 2021 Young Gun of Wine.
Sam Berketa of Alpha Box and Dice, Dan Graham of Sigurd, and Charlotte Hardy of Charlotte Dalton Wines have claimed top titles this year.
Hardy has taken home the top title being named the 2021 Young Gun of Wine, while Berketa took home the People’s Choice Award, and Graham was presented with the Winemaker’s Choice Award.
Charlotte Hardy’s Charlotte Dalton wines were launched from the 2015 vintage, a Semillon and a Shiraz made in an unfussed lo-fi way. But these weren’t your classic new wave wines from Basket Range (Adelaide Hills).
