COCK + BULL AWARDS
Black Stump Wines managed the winemaking of Cock+Bull wines from 2009 until 2014, from vineyard gate to bottling. Over this period the wines were found in Dan Murphy stores, until discontinued for commercial reasons. A small stock was accumulated by the winemaker as it was being made, and now some of these back vintages may be purchased as part of mixed 6-packs and dozens.
Although inexpensive, the wines accumulated a number of awards listed below. These included three wines listed in the Adelaide Review Hot 100 in 2013/14, and Winestate Best Shiraz under $10.
