The family-owned winery gained a gold medal for its 2013 Botrytis Muscadelle - a luscious dessert wine - at the Interwine Competition in Guangzhou China this month.
It also scored a silver medal for its 2016 Durif.
Owner Damien Cofield said they started looking into export opportunities in China last year.
He said their export partner had encouraged them to enter the show.
"We have come away with two medals from two entries, so needless to say that we are happy that we listened to him," he said.
"We have shipped our first container of wine into China earlier this year and we expect the show success will help generate additional awareness of our brand."
