CONDITIONS OF ENTRY REGULATIONS AND ENTRY CRITERIA
General information
The Visy Great Australian Shiraz Challenge is unlike other wine awards. It is aimed specifically at commercially available Shiraz of any vintage - so that the wines are accessible to the consuming public.
- Judging is based on the standard 20 point system, with Judges points aggregated and averaged. All wines scored at Gold medal standard are rejudged in the second Trophy round.
- All entrants will be advised of point scores. Medal winning wines will have unrestricted branding rights for labels, packaging and wine marketing materials. The Challenge Top 50 only will be advised to the public, trade and media.
- 2010 Revised Judging Process. The Shiraz Challenge Committee has introduced an innovative change to the judging process; wines entered will be classed and tasted based on climate and regional points of difference, this will ensure that all entries are judged objectively.
