Nugan Estate is proud to be named one of The Real Review’s “Top Wineries of Australia 2025”, a prestigious recognition of consistent excellence in winemaking. Each year, The Real Review evaluates approximately 10,000 wines, identifying standout producers across the country. This national benchmark highlights where wineries rank among their peers, with Nugan Estate firmly securing its place among Australia’s elite.
The Top Wineries Certificate is awarded to a select group that consistently produces high-quality wines. Rankings are determined by a data-driven algorithm that weighs both the rating and recency of reviews by The Real Review’s expert panel over the assessment period.
Bolstering this acclaim, Nugan Estate’s 2022 Cookoothama Limited Release Botrytis Semillon was named a finalist for the 2025 Sweet Wine of the Year award. Crafted in the Riverina, where cool misty nights and warm days provide ideal conditions for Botrytis, the wine is a rich and expressive dessert style. Made using a thoughtful process of whole-bunch pressing, skin contact and slow fermentation, it delivers superior quality at an accessible price – earning both critical praise and consumer satisfaction.
