We’re launching a podcast!
The Tranche Scholarship was founded on the belief that opportunity can change the course of a career.
Through conversations with leading voices, we’ll explore what happens when talent is given room to grow - and how those experiences ripple far beyond the individual.
First episode dropping next week.
In the season finale of the Halliday Wine Companion Podcast, Michael Hill-Smith AM MW (@mhsnotebook ) tells @annawebster_ about the origins of the mataro that has just been planted at the @mmadvineyard in McLaren Vale, and how the project was driven by joint CEOs @a.wadewitz and @dlemiremw .

At this year’s IWC in London, the 2023 Tolpuddle Vineyard wines were recognised with six trophies – among them Best Australian White, Best Australian Red, and, then the icing on the cake, Championship White across all countries for the Chardonnay.
Congratulations to @a.wadewitz and the whole team.
The ongoing success of Tolpuddle Vineyard continues to be one of the most exciting chapters of my wine life.

Brilliant news from Wine Paris, where the great James Halliday AM has won the Institue of Masters of Wine Lifetime Achievement Award. This award is voted on by the full MW brethren, which makes it even more special.
James has been part of our wine lives for over 55 years, as writer, critic, wine producer, judge, and mentor to a generation of young wine professionals.
James is a vinous polymath with an amazing palate, an unexpected impish sense of humour and tireless work ethic. I have judged with some of the most famous names in wine, but few have come close to James in terms of his deep understanding of wine quality and style. His almost fanatical enthusiasm for every facet of fine wine is both extraordinary and inspirational.
Congratulations James from all of us who prize your friendship and legacy.
How hard is it to get a Gold medal at DWWA?
The 2024 competition saw just 3.54% of the 18,143 wines evaluated receive this prestigious medal🥇
Gold winners are outstanding, memorable wines within their category that truly impress our judges. The experts are here to break down the challenge...
