In his latest 2015 Wine Companion, James Halliday has rated 6 of our wines 5 stars with our flagship Reserve Shiraz scoring an amazing 96 points. This score is just one point behind Penfolds Grange.

Our flagship red is our 5 star Reserve Shiraz which has won top gold medals at both Sydney and Melbourne Royal Wine Shows, and has been nominated for two trophies at 2011 Royal Melbourne for Best Single Vineyard Wine and Best Shiraz trophies. The Jimmy Watson winner beat us for the Best Rhone Style Shiraz trophy with the narrowest of margins. The wine was selected to be served to the Royal couple, Prince William and Kate, when they visited Brisbane in early 2014.

Our flagship white is our Gewurztraminer which has been awarded Best Alternative White Wine Trophies at 2014 Royal QLD Wine Show and 2014 Royal Melbourne Wine Show. It is rated 5 stars by James Halliday. One of the 'Strange Bird' varieties, for which the district is winning huge acclaim. Owner Ewen Macpherson describes this wine as having 'JAZZ HANDS' as it leaps out of the glass! Made in the french style from the Alsace region, this Gewurztraminer finishes dry with sweet aromas of Turkish delight and lychees. Just gorgeous with spicy foods, Malay or Vietnamese for example.

Our 2009 Reserve Petit Verdot was awarded trophy at the prestigious Canberra Winewise awards where the best of the best wines from all the major shows are judged to see who comes out on top. Symphony Hill Wines is now listed next to the other major trophy winners like Yalumba, Rosemount, Heggies and Shaw & Smith.

We were awarded Most Successful QLD Exhibitor Trophy at 2014 Royal QLD Wine Show - the fourth time in the last five years we have won that trophy.

We were awarded 4 trophies at the 2013 Australian Small Winemakers Show which includes Most Successful QLD Exhibitor Trophy, Technical xcellence for QLD Winemaking, Best QLD Red Wine and Best QLD Shiraz.
