Hosted in conjunction with the Association of Australian Boutique Winemakers, the event played host to a number of Australia’s top wine makers, graphic designers, media and industry alike, including Keystone Group Director Paul Schulte, Lisa McGuigan, and CEO of the Association of Australian Boutique Winemakers, Judith Kennedy.

“Judith Kennedy’s vision in establishing a strong profile for design within the wine industry is exceptional and in line with the support we at Keystone like to give to emerging talent” said Keystone group director Paul Schulte.  

 

Schulte continued: “We congratulate Judith and each of the ten category winners – in particular Taylor’s Wines for winning Australia’s Best Wine Bottle category with its Winemakers Project Clare Valley GSW 2010, and the bottle’s designer, The Collective Design Consultants.”

 

Lisa McGuigan, who chaired the national judging panel, presented the winners in the eclectic surrounds of The Winery’s upstairs space.  

 

“It is a great way for our customers to engage with our brands” said Group Sommelier Sarah Limacher. “For me it has been a fascinating to see the depth of creativity and vision across labels and packaging and how design brings a bottle to life in wine bars, restaurants and at wine cellars. We look forward to offering some of these wines across our venue to further showcase excellence.”
