I'd like to give a shout-out today to a small business in my local patch in north-west Tasmania, Ghost Rock Wines, established by Colin and Cate and now run by Justin and Alicia. They had an extraordinarily successful Tasmanian Wine Show recently. They were successful in winning the Moo Brew Trophy for the best sauvignon blanc, which was their 2024 sauvignon blanc, and the AP John Coopers Trophy for the best pinot noir for their 2023 Ghost Rock Estate pinot noir, and that same wine also won the Wine Tasmania Trophy for the Champion Wine of the Show. So the best pinot noir in Tasmania, as judged at this year's Tasmanian Wine Show, is a very nice 2023 Ghost Rock Estate pinot noir.

Can I add to my congratulations my recognition of the winemaker, Sierra Blair, and the vineyard manager, Izaak Perkins, and their team, because it's not just the owners or the winemaker; it's also those that manage and tend the vines through the season that go to make a good drop. We on the north-west coast of Tasmania are justifiably proud of the success of Ghost Rock. They have some really cracker wines available for our local community and for the rest of you if you would like to try a nice tipple of pinot noir.
