The winners are in for the prestigious 2026 Royal Queensland Awards (RQA) Wine Competition, with Credaro Estate taking home a Gold Medal.
Our 2024 1000 Crowns Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded 95 points in its category, which was taken out by overall Grand Champion, Stella Bella. We also received a very close Silver Medal for a soon-to-be-released wine, which was awarded 93 points by the judging panel.
Chaired by Winemaker Julian Langworthy, the judges awarded Stella Bella the Angelo Puglisi Grand Champion to Stella Bella for the 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon, which also received the Stodart Trophy for Best Red Wine and the Alan Cook MBE Best Cabernet Sauvignon (of which our 2023 1000 Crowns Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded at last year's awards).
Congratulations to all the 2026 Trophy Winners and awards organisers.
