The 30th edition of Australian Wine Vintages has nominated five South Burnett wines as among
the best in the nation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Australian wine expert Rob Geddes<\/strong> has nominated five South Burnett wines as being among Australia’s best in the 30th edition of his soon-to-be-released Australian Wine Vintages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Geddes, who became Australia’s third Master of Wine in 1992, tastes more than 3000 wines a year. His “Gold Book” provides readers with detailed tasting notes, information about vintage quality and indicative prices for more than 5000 wines from 320 of Australia\u2019s best wineries.<\/p>\n

It also includes a list of Certified Organic and Biodynamic wineries and a quick guide to wine varieties and regions so readers know what to look for.<\/p>\n

The book’s Gold Star list recognises the most consistent wine producers in Australia. An annual list of the top 100 wines tasted is also included.<\/p>\n

It provides up-to-date advice about which cellar doors to visit plus where to eat and stay, drawing not only on Rob\u2019s experience but also the experience of winemakers in each region.<\/p>\n

The 30th edition – which will be released next month – gives high rankings to five South Burnett wines.<\/p>\n
