Fogarty Wine Group awarded Trophy for Best Pinot Noir and 9 Gold Medals at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards 2022
Fogarty Wine Group has been awarded a Trophy and 9 Gold Medals at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards last night.
The Lowestoft 2021 La Maison Pinot Noir has been awarded The James Halliday Trophy for Best Pinot Noir, following last year’s win with the Lowestoft 2020 La Maison.
Fogarty Wine Group Executive Chairman Peter Fogarty said, “We are extremely proud to see the Lowestoft 2021 La Maison win the James Halliday Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards. Winning 2 consecutive Best Pinot Noir Trophies at the Melbourne Royal Wine Awards across 2 vintages of the same wine is testament to our amazing Lowestoft vineyard and our winemaking team at Tasmanian Vintners, led by Liam McElhinney.
“Lowestoft La Maison has, in 3 short years since we started producing it, won 3 Trophies for Best Pinot Noir of Show awards and 4 Gold Medals across the major capital city wine shows. It has also been chosen by the Halliday Wine Companion 2023 as Australia’s No. 1 Pinot Noir.”

- Deep Woods 2021 Single Vineyard Chardonnay
- Deep Woods Estate 2022 Ivory Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
- Evans & Tate 2019 Single Vineyard Chardonnay
- Evans & Tate 2019 Redbrook Reserve Chardonnay

The Melbourne Royal Wine Awards was established in 1884 and is the most respected wine show in the country. Renowned both nationally and internationally as one of Australia’s largest and most prestigious wine shows, to be awarded a Trophy and Gold is an incredible achievement and highlights the calibre of our sensational wines.
Congratulations to Deep Woods Estate Chief Winemaker Julian Langworthy, Evans & Tate Senior Winemaker Matt Byrne, Lowestoft Chief Winemaker Liam McElhinney and all of the winemaking and vineyard teams on these absolutely fantastic results.
