Winemaker Crowned Master

Levantine Hill winemaker Paul Bridgeman has been crowned a 'master winemaker' by the Drinks Business in their annual Master Winemaker 100 magazine.

Following the awarding of a Master Medal to our 2015 Melissa's Paddock Syrah, Drinks Business interviewed Paul on his personal ethos and tastes when it comes to winemaking.

"Cool-climate Shiraz is my favourite red wine style, so for us to win back-to-back major international awards for successive vintages of our Levantine Hill Estate Syrah is extremely gratifying because, collectively, we have all taken a reasonable leap of faith to be here together as a wine producer."
