Our Review
In ’23, Helm Wines celebrated its 50-year anniversary and Ken Helm AM’s 47th riesling vintage. Riesling has been an all-consuming interest, ultimately rewarded with rieslings of consistently high quality. In 2000, he established the Canberra International Riesling Challenge, putting the region on the world stage. 10 years later, Ken was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his contribution to the Australian wine industry. In ’17 Helm completed construction of a separate 40 000L winery purely for riesling, the old winery is now dedicated to producing cabernet sauvignon. -JAMES HALLIDAY
