2011 Dan Murphy's National Wine Show of Australia

The Dan Murphy's National Wine Show of Australia is Australia’s premier national show for table wines, sparkling wines, fortified wines and brandy. The Show invites entries from across Australia in premium, commercial and aged classes for table, sparkling and fortified wines, and brandy.

The purpose of the Show is to judge and promote the best of the best Australian wines. Wines must qualify through Australian regional and capital city wine shows to enter the premium, premium gold and single vineyard classes.

The premium and single vineyard classes are open to award winning wines only. Entries in the premium gold classes must be gold award winning wines.

New developments for 2011

Separate trophies have been introduced for the Best Single Vineyard White Wine and the Best Single Vineyard Red Wine. A single vineyard trophy winner will be eligible for the Best White Wine or Best Red Wine, and Best Table Wine of Show trophies if there is sufficient quantity of the wine for the wine to qualify for the relevant premium classes.

Because wines entered in the commercial classes do not require a qualifying award, the winners of the Best Commercial Dry White and Dry Red trophies will not be eligible for the Best White Wine, Best Red Wine and Best Table Wine of Show trophies.

The commercial classes for Apera (sherry) and Ruby or Vintage Port style have been omitted due to the low number of entries in the last 3 years.

The Geelong, Mudgee, New England and Orange Wine Shows have been accepted as qualifying shows for the premium and single vineyard classes from 2011.
