Top Gold for our 2026 Hidden Orchard Grenache at the Royal Adelaide W**e Show.
With w**e judging in Adelaide dating back to 1845, the Royal Adelaide W**e Show holds a special place in Australian w**e. Its long history, exacting standards and strong field of entries make it one of the country’s most prestigious w**e competitions. An Adelaide gold is a hard-earned result and an achievement that carries real weight among w**emakers. Gold medals are awarded to w**es scoring 95 points or above, recognising outstanding quality.
Our newly released 2026 Hidden Orchard Grenache has won the '2025 and younger Grenache' category scoring a 96 Top Gold Medal.
A fresh, fragrant expression of McLaren Vale Grenache, Hidden Orchard captures the bright fruit and aromatics of the milder 2026 vintage. Around 40% whole bunches contribute aromatic lift and gentle structure, alongside vibrant red fruit and a touch of mint. A chillable style of Grenache released just in time for spring.
The result also holds personal significance for our third generation w**emaker, Peter. It marks his first gold medal at the Royal Adelaide W**e Show, recognising the direction he is taking Woodstock’s w**es while building on the foundations laid by his father Scott and grandfather Douglas.
A proud moment for the whole Woodstock team, and a w**e we’re excited to share.
