A surprise win!
Posted by Eric Semmler on
We were still celebrating the Women in Wine Awards when a courier dropped off a parcel. To our surprise we had won the Best Organic Wine in the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show, and we hadn't even known!
We hastily looked up the results: Gold and Trophy for the 919 Pale Dry Apera, and a silver for the 919 2015 Reserve Collection Touriga Nacional.
Surprise!

Australian Women in Wine Awards

Congratulations Jenny!
Jenny Semmler, co-proprietor of 919 Wines, has won the Owner/Operator of the Year category in the 2016 Women in Wine Awards run by the Fabulous Ladies’ Wine Society. These awards seek to acknowledge the achievements of women in the wine industry.
“I wasn't going to enter, however when I was nominated I thought I should try and live up to my nominator's faith in me. I was pretty chuffed to be named a finalist, and happy to stand with the likes of Eliza Brown of all Saints, Sarah Collingwood of Four Winds and and Kim Tyrer of Gaffney. To have won the category is a great honour, and a tiny bit overwhelming."
Kate Strachan, also from the Riverland, was a finalist in the Viticulturalist of the Year category.
Other categories include Winemaker, Viticulturalist, Researcher, Cellar Door Person of the Year, and Workplace Champion of Change, the only category open to both women and men.
Watch the awards presentation here.
We have asked Jenny to pick her top 6 wines. You can find her favourites here.
