Wine Awards for Past Releases
Each year brings new grapes with their own distinct character, and each year the grapes are handpicked at optimum ripeness. Tarara’s wines are carefully crafted to showcase the true nature of these grapes.
We are proud to announce the following award-winning past wine releases which are a direct result of the care and labor put into each.
