WA Wine Voters Back Stella Bella in a Big Way

Top Up Wines

The votes are in for the Top Up Wines People’s Choice Awards, and we’re beyond thrilled to share that six of our wines landed in the Top 50 – more than any other winery in Western Australia.

This isn’t your typical wine awards.
Top Up is WA’s first-ever people’s choice wine awards, designed to celebrate what real wine lovers are actually pouring at home, sharing with friends, and raising a glass to. With over 20,000 votes, more than 1,600 wines nominated, and 55 wineries making the list, the results are as authentic as it gets.

We’re incredibly proud – and even more humbled – to see so many of our wines voted among WA’s favourites:

The Results:
#2 – Luminosa Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
#12 – Luminosa Chardonnay 2023
#23 – Stella Bella Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
#36 – Suckfizzle Chardonnay 2023
#38 – Stella Bella Sauvignon Blanc 2024
#50 – Stella Bella Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2024

It’s no secret we’re deeply passionate about crafting wines that reflect the personality of the vineyard, the season, and the people behind the bottle. But when that passion is recognised not by a judging panel, but by thousands of WA wine lovers – that’s something truly special.

A Celebration of WA Wine
Top Up Wines was created to give wine lovers a seat at the table. Founded by Jamie Burnett and brought to life with the help of industry veteran Scott Spalding and wine lover Chris Masten, the awards turned traditional judging on its head. It’s not about scores. It’s about stories, connection, and celebrating good times with great wine.

We couldn’t agree more.

A Huge Thank You
To everyone who voted – thank you. Your support means the world to us. This result is for every person who’s visited our cellar door, shared a bottle with mates, or introduced someone to Stella Bella for the first time.

And if you haven’t had the chance to taste some of these top-rated wines yet, now’s the perfect time to explore what WA wine lovers are raving about.

Discover the wines that made the Top 50

Cheers to WA wine, and to you.
