Awarded For: Awarded for best Rosè

Donated By: The trophy was donated by Kemeny's Food and Liquor and first presented in 1994. It honours the late Leslie Kemeny, a post war migrant from Budapest who established the L & E Kemeny Delicatessen in Bondi in 1960. Mr Kemeny and his wife Emma grew their business to become a major player in the retail wine industry and in 2010 the store celebrated 50 years of continued growth and success. Mr Kemeny passed away in 1986, his sons Andrew and Gabor have continued his legacy and Kemenys remains a family owned business today. Until 2014 this trophy was awarded for two year old Premium Red Wine. From 2014 to 2015 it was awarded for Best Pinot Gris.
