The Australian Sparkling Wine Show (ASWS) is the only dedicated sparkling wine show in Australia. Originally the Marysville Sparkling Wine Festival, the ASWS began as a seed that grew out of the ashes of a community shattered in the February 2009 Black Saturday bushfires – the most devastating bushfires in Australian history.
Starting with 69 entries the competition has more than doubled in size since its inception.
This year Chair of Judges: Huon Hooke; Panel Chairs: Kate Laurie and Essi Avellan; Judges: Cate Looney, Penny Jones, Loic Le Calvez, Teresa Heuzenroeder.
Hollydene Estate 2008 Juul Sparkling can be purchased online or at their cellar door on Golden Highway just west of Jerrys Plains.
