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.

As it turns out, Paul's most awarded Shiraz/Syrah is also his go-to wine for drinking. When asked about his proudest achievement, Paul commented:
 
"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."
