Top Wineries of Australia 2025 and award winners unveiled

Today we launch The Real Review Top Wineries of Australia 2025, which lists more than 400 of our highest-performing wineries.

Len Evans Prize winner: Angus Barnes

Angus Barnes is our first Len Evans Prize recipient. Angus is not a winemaker nor a person with a high public profile, but an outstanding leader.

Rising Star of the Year Australia: Gareth Belton, Gentle Folk

Gareth and his wife Rainbo didn’t set out to be wine makers, both in fact trained as marine scientists but while living in Adelaide Gareth was bitten by the wine bug.

Vigneron of the Year Australia: Sandra and David de Pury, Yeringberg

Sandra, David and their family fit the description of vignerons perfectly. They grow their own grapes, and they don’t use any outside fruit. They do the vinification and elevage in their own winery and bottle the wine on the property. And they make glorious wine.

The hallowed walls of the Chambers winery hold some of our most precious, intensely sweet amber liquid.
