Natalie Cleghorn of Coonawarra Vignerons member winery Yalumba has been recognised on the national stage as one of three finalists for Winemaker of the Year in the Australian Women in Wine Awards. Vanya Cullen from Cullen Wine and Jo Marsh from Billy Button Wines are the other nominees.
Natalie featured earlier this year in our Winemaker Wednesday interview where she shared some of her favourite wine making moments. Read more. We have been on the road with Natalie, showcasing Yalumba wine at our annual Coonawarra Cellar Door in the City events. Natalie will be joining us this Sunday in Perth’s sold out event.
The winners of each award category will be announced at the 2019 AWIWA ceremony in New York on the evening of 17th September (morning of 18th September, Australian time) in partnership with Wine Australia. We look forward to cheering Natalie on from Coonawarra.
