West Australian Cabernet Sauvignon awarded coveted Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy

For the first time since 2010, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, Australia’s most coveted wine award which recognises the Best Young Red Wine has been won by a Cabernet Sauvignon, with Western Australia’s Deep Woods Estate 2014 Reserve taking home the illustrious honour at last night’s 2016 Royal Melbourne Wine Awards (RMWA). Deep Woods also took home the trophy for Best Cabernet Sauvignon for the same wine, whilst other major trophies were spread across the country. The François de Castella Trophy for Best Young White Wine was awarded to Victoria’s Seville Estate for their 2015 Chardonnay.
