> Canberra District Wines feature strongly in 2009 NSW Top 100 Wines - Media Release - 28/08/09
Canberra District Wine Industry Association is pleased to announce that 14 Canberra
District premium wines were included in James Halliday‟s NSW Top 100 listing released
today in "NSW Wines Uncovered".
Anne Caine, President of the Canberra District Wine Industry Association said: “This is
a fantastic achievement for Canberra District Wines and is a further testament to the
consistently high quality wines being produced. In fact, the picture is even stronger
when we consider that some of the District‟s highest scoring wines were not included
in the NSW Top 100, due to limited availablity.
