Mount Monument Wins the Gordon Knight Trophy for Best Overall Winery
We’re thrilled to share some incredible news — Mount Monument has been awarded the prestigious Gordon Knight Trophy for Best Overall Winery at the recent Macedon Ranges Vignerons Association (MRVA) Wine Lunch.
This recognition is a testament to our team’s dedication, the unique character of our vineyard, and our ongoing pursuit of excellence across every vintage.
A Standout Performance in the Glass
Our wines shone across multiple categories, highlighting the strength and consistency of our 2024 releases.
Class 2 – Aromatics, Other White Varieties & Blends (Any Vintage)
🥇 2024 Mount Monument Riesling – 95 Points, Gold
Lime pith, mid-palate intensity, good length and balance of residual sugar and texture.
A wine of clarity and focus, our Riesling captures the cool-climate precision of the Macedon Ranges, balancing pure citrus energy with subtle texture and length.
Class 3 – Chardonnay (Any Vintage)
🥇 2024 Mount Monument Chardonnay – 95 Points, Gold
Savoury, concentrated, lots of complexity in harmony with fruit.
Our Chardonnay continues to define elegance and depth — layers of savoury minerality intertwined with vibrant fruit, a seamless expression of site and season.
Class 6 – Pinot Noir (Any Vintage)
🥉 2024 Mount Monument Pinot Noir – 88 Points, Bronze
Reductive, smoky, char oak, blue fruits, savoury.
Our Pinot Noir, while still young, shows great promise — a structured wine with notes of blue fruit and savoury complexity, reflective of the vineyard’s rugged, volcanic soils.
A Collective Effort
Winning the Gordon Knight Trophy is more than a recognition of our wines — it’s a celebration of everyone behind them. From our vineyard team nurturing the vines through the seasons, to the hands crafting balance and finesse in the winery, every bottle tells a story of passion, patience, and place.
The Spirit of Mount Monument
Set in the heart of the Macedon Ranges, Mount Monument is shaped by altitude, ancient soils, and a relentless commitment to quality. This award reaffirms our belief that great wines are born from attention to detail — from the vineyard rows to the glass.
We’re honoured to stand among the region’s outstanding producers and deeply grateful to the MRVA and our peers for this recognition.
