Liebichwein are extremely proud of their successful results at the 2024 Barossa Wine Show. Not only did Ron and Janet take home a trophy for Best Fortified Wine, they were awarded the trophy for Best Small Winery. All Liebichwein fortified entries got medals and high average scores. These wines are a testament to Ron’s 50+ years of experience in growing grapes and making wine in Barossa Valley.
The Top Gold and Best Fortified Trophy for Rare Tawny is extra pleasing as it’s like a family heirloom with a rich history. This wine is a premium aged blend of parcels that sit patiently in oak barrels for up to 50 years developing richness and depth of flavour. Some barrels have been in the family since Ron’s grandfather Benno Liebich was making wine. The final Tawny blend is an average 30 years old. Grenache grapes grown on the Liebich property are harvested at ultra ripeness late in vintage when the berries shrivel and sweetest ripest flavours are accessible.
Previous years have seen Rare Fronti and Rare Muscat get similar honours in the Best Museum Fortified Classes at the Barossa Wine Show. These are special limited releases that have taken decades to develop richness, complexity and depth of flavour. We think of them as “liquid gold”. Every time we take a sip, we think of the “angels share”, the wine that evaporates to the heavens during the ageing process.

Extremely proud to win Best Fortified in Show at the Barossa Wine Show 2022! Ron has outdone himself picking up a Trophy for Museum Fortified for the third time. Rare Muscat was crowned Best Fortified in Show after patiently sitting for 25 years developing richness and depth of flavour. The ultra-ripe grapes hang on until late in vintage when the berries shrivel and we get the best flavours and natural sweetness.
We really appreciate this win and thank the whole show team, Barossa Wine and trophy sponsor Tarac Technologies. We love the feedback from the judging panel ‘Integrated sweetness, lovely luscious flow set the gold apart’.
