Mr REPACHOLI (Hunter) (13:44) 

De Iuliis wines have secured the three-peat. For the third year in a row, they have been named a top winery of 2025 by the Real Review. That's almost unheard of. The Real Review's list of top wineries of Australia is highly regarded for its rigorous and independent assessment. Wineries are judged on the quality and consistency of their wines reviewed over the past two years, making this accolade a true indicator of sustained excellence. To put it simply, if you're a wine lover, it means that when you have a taste of De Iuliis wines you're treating your tastebuds to some of the best wine you can find.

De Iuliis wines are best known for their premium Hunter Valley semillon, shiraz and chardonnay. Their Hunter Valley semillon is the benchmark for the region, and the Hunter Valley shiraz is a powerful yet elegant wine. For more than three years, I have been standing in this place and saying that the Hunter has the best wines in the country and the world, and what more proof do you all need in this place? Make the trip to our beautiful part of the world, our slice of heaven, and, when you're there, make sure you have a glass or a bottle of some high-quality, critically acclaimed wine from De Iuliis wines. I'm actually looking forward to going there on 27 September for their Cork and Fork event. I'm going to eat plenty of meat and drink plenty of their wine as well. I'm really looking forward to going there and supporting them on their journey to be one of the best winemakers in the country. Thank you, De Iuliis wines.
