Great work you are doing, and carry on the great work. Push this idea, because I still think in my heart that when you get the best of Cabernet and the best of Shiraz – not the second, third or fourth cab off the rank – you can blend beautifully. This competition certainly is something that I am very supportive of. I think it is wonderful that you are doing this.

– Len Evans

This is a brilliant idea.

– Brian Croser

When two of the leading wine critics in the world Matthew Jukes [UK] and Tyson Stelzer [AUS] come out with such a statement then you know that the wine is special. When other leading judges concur then it’s truly exceptional.

– The Australian

Tyson and Matthew were not alone, with some of Australia’s wine royalty giving up their time to judge and show support for The Great Australian Red concept.

– Wine Selector

Perhaps two young men still in their 30s will help with the rebirth of cool in this country, and get more people around the wine-drinking world going bonkers for our blended red.
