Wine Enthusiast’s 23rd Annual Wine Star Award Nominees
Wine Enthusiast’s 23rd Annual Wine Star Award Nominees
Wine Enthusiast’s 23rd Annual Wine Star Award nominees have been announced, honouring individuals and companies that make outstanding contributions to the wine and alcohol beverage world. We are pleased to let you know Marlborough has once again been nominated for Wine Region of the Year.
“Few New World wine regions have had as much global impact as Marlborough. Ever since its bombastic, zingy, and affordable Sauvignon Blancs burst onto the world stage in the early 1980s, wine drinkers can’t seem to get enough of a wine style that is today emulated by wineries around the world. Marlborough is the source of 70% of all New Zealand’s wine and 99% of its vineyards are certified sustainable. While Sauvignon Blanc remains Marlborough’s signature variety, a new wave of innovation has yielded excellent Pinot Noir and a kaleidoscope of quality cool-climate Riesling, Pinot Gris and Syrah.”
The winners will be announced in the magazine’s Best of Year Issue.
