Cuttaway Hill Chardonnay Named In Top Four Chardonnays in Australasia
Australia's premier wine magazine Winestate Australia has announced its finalists for its annual Wine of the Year Awards for 2009 and it includes our own Cuttaway Hill Estate from the Southern Highlands, NSW.
For the Chardonnnay category, the 2006 Cuttaway Hill Chardonnay was named in the final four for the best Chardonnay in Australia and New Zealand for 2009. The Cuttaway Hill Chardonnay was rated 5 STARS by Winestate reviewers during 2009 and it certainly shines a very bright light on the quality of wines coming out of the region, especially in great years like 2006.
In other Cuttaway news, the 2005 'Laurence' Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir was listed as one of the Top 18 Sparkling Wines in Australia by a panel of reviewers (including legendary Australian sparkling winemaker Ed Carr) for Selector magazine.
