Penfolds 2007 Reserve Bin A Chardonnay won best wine of show, and judges commented that the “Adelaide Hills and Chardonnay is a dynamic combination”. International judge Anthony Rose says alternative varieties in the Adelaide Hills were incredibly good and have an exciting future. “The youth of the region, combined with the very wide variations in terroir throughout its 70-kilometre length mean the possibilities for what the Adelaide Hills might achieve had only just begun to be explored,” he said.
