Four wines achieved an “outstanding” rating of 95, with 13 other wines receiving top marks across the board.
The “outstanding” wines include the Mitchelton Estate Heathcote Shiraz, Mitchelton Heathcote Collection Shiraz, Mitchelton Print Shiraz and Mitchelton Spring Single Block Heathcote Shiraz, all from the 2018 vintage.
“Highly recommended” wines in the range included Mitchelton’s 2020 Blackwood Park Riesling and other wines from the 2020 Estate range such as the Mitchelton Single Vineyard Roussanne and Mitchelton Single Vineyard Nagambie Shiraz.
Chief winemaker Andrew Santarossa said for Mitchelton to be recognised by the Halliday results is a glowing endorsement of the hard work and dedication of the entire team.
“Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a passionate team effort and common goal to make our wines,” he said.
“It gives further confidence that the Mitchelton wine journey and commitment to excellence is reaping rewards.”
The team effort was brought to life this year as locals from around the Nagambie area joined Andrew in harvesting this year’s vintage, as national border restrictions prevented the usual farmhands from Europe from flying in.
Earlier this year the prestigious London Wine Competition, which receives entries from across the globe, granted medals to eight individual wines from the Mitchelton portfolio, including gold medals for three 2017 vintage premium shiraz from Heathcote, and the 2019 Mitchelton Estate Chardonnay.
