"Often this flight is poured and tasted towards the pointy end of the annual awards judging, in part due to the nature of the wines, but also for how they lift the spirits of the Tasting Team. It is a bracket of immense joy, for the senses, and also for the provenance, history and supreme quality of the wines. Congratulations to All Saints Estate on its third consecutive win in this category." – Katrina Butler
