South Australia’s Millon Wines has been named Winery of the Year at the 2024 Melbourne International Wine Show.

The recognition was awarded for the exceptional quality of the Millon Wines Eden Valley Shiraz, with its vibrant fruit-forward profile, featuring dark berries, plum and subtle peppery spice.

The Melbourne International Wine Show recognises winemaking excellence, with the judges particularly praising the Eden Valley Shiraz for its robust structure, elegant complexity, and adaptability.

Millon Wines aims to produce wines that reflect the unique landscapes and climates of the Barossa and Eden Valleys, with a strong focus on sustainable viticulture.

Millon Wines head winemaker Angus Wardlaw said: “Winning Eden Valley Shiraz Winery of the Year at the Melbourne International Wine Show is such a proud moment for us as a family-owned business. We’ve always aimed to create wines that not only showcase the unique characteristics of South Australia, but also bring people together over any occasion.

“The Eden Valley Shiraz is the culmination of meticulous winemaking and a deep understanding of the unique terroir in the region. Our team has worked tirelessly to craft a wine that strikes the perfect balance between bold fruit flavours and refined elegance. The dark berry notes, hints of pepper and spice, and the smooth, velvety tannins make this Shiraz a standout in any season. Whether you’re savouring it now or letting it age gracefully, this wine continues to evolve and surprise with every glass.”

The Eden Valley Shiraz is available via Millon Wines here for $27 a bottle, and at select retailers across the country.
