The Australian Pinot Noir Challenge seeks to benchmark the best of Australia’s pinot noir regions and pinot noir wines each year to assess the quality, regional variation and themes emerging from winemaking and regional expressions. Pinot noir is the fourth most crushed red wine variety in Australia, achieves high-value premiumisation growth year-on-year, and is one of the fastest growing drink categories in the market, making the Australian Pinot Noir Challenge ever more important as a guide to pinot noir consumers and winemakers as we grow, make and consume more homegrown pinot noir wine. Entries Open: Monday 22 July 2024 Entries Close: Friday 19 August 2024 Exhibits must be delivered during the period Tuesday 20 August to Friday 30 August 2024 Judging will take place on Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 September 2024 Trophy announcement at Cutler & Co. on Thursday 3 October 2024 Schedule and Showrunner.
