A certification seal appears on each container of wine or estate brandy which has been certified by the Wine and Spirit Board. This seal is a guarantee of origin, vintage and variety as stated on the wine label.

If you still have queries, please contact who are able from these two numbers to track the wine all the way to the vineyard(s) from which it originated.

Any wines not made to the certified IPW standards will continue to use the original Wine of Origin seal.
