Here she explains the immediate response she has had to the news, with orders coming in from around the world, and what impact it has had on her and her small winery team.

How does it feel to be the best overall wine in the world in the London Wine Competition?

I am extremely proud that my Levrier 2015 Anubis Barossa Cabernet scored so highly at this 2021 London Wine Competition.
I spent years with my small team bringing Levrier to life, from vineyard to final packaging, so I feel genuinely delighted to be recognized with these awards. To get top results on four categories and totaling three gold medals in one show feels amazing.
