Family-owned South Australian winery Amadio Wines has achieved international acclaim, securing 11 gold medals in recent weeks at global wine competitions in Vienna and China.

At the world’s largest wine competition, the AWC Vienna International Wine Challenge, Amadio Wines competed against 1,412 producers from 41 countries, and claimed the coveted title of Best Cabernet Sauvignon in the World for its Sebastien’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021. In addition, the winery was awarded a gold medal for its Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2021.

At the China Wine Spirits Awards 2024, Amadio Wines achieved further recognition with double gold medals awarded to the Single Vineyard Selection Shiraz 2021 and Heritage Selection Sagrantino 2018, plus an additional four gold medals for the Block 2A Reserve Shiraz 2017, Sebastien’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet 2021 and Single Vineyard Selection Chardonnay 2022.

Managing director Danniel Amadio attributed this success to the winery’s commitment and passion.

“These achievements underscore the exceptional quality of Adelaide Hills wines on the world stage. Being acknowledged among the global elite is a testament to our dedication and love for producing remarkable wines,” Amadio said.

Amadio Wines is winery spanning three generations, situated in Kersbrook, South Australian at an elevation of 353 metres. The winery benefits from the warmer, drier climate compared to the surrounding region, allowing the vineyard to achieve earlier ripening and produce grapes with enhanced tannins and acidity.

Building on the momentum of these awards, Amadio Wines is poised to broaden its global presence, sharing the unique flavours of the Adelaide Hills with an ever-growing audience of wine lovers worldwide.
