Pokolbin Estate wins award for top Riesling

Pokolbin Estate Vineyard yet again has claimed another Australasian Winestate title, but this time it’s for a Hunter Riesling – not Semillon.
Cessnock Advertiser reports the 2011 Pokolbin Estate Vineyard Hunter Riesling was judged the best Australasian Riesling at this year’s Winestate Wine of the Year awards in Adelaide after a taste-off with the highest ranked wines in Australia and New Zealand. After winning the Winestate Semillon title four times previously, Pokolbin Estate has secured its name in the history books as a premium Riesling producer.
