Cupitt Rated 5-Star Winery and “Dark Horse” by Halliday Wine Companion 20184 August 2017 – posted in: Winery, Restaurant

Congratulations to Wally Cupitt and the team for achieving their first ever 5-star Winery rating and being named a “Dark Horse”  in the Halliday Wine Companion 2018.  This is a milestone for Wally who set a personal goal to achieve a 5-star rating within his first 5 years of winemaking at Cupitt’s.

To qualify as one of the 10 Industry Dark Horses the winery has to receive the 5-star rating for the first time and have a history of lesser ratings.

“Cupitt’s Winery has been knocking on the door of a 5-star rating for a number of years,  and blew it wide open for this edition of Wine Companion….the quality of the wines and the modesty of the prices is as commendable as it is unusual”
