The original outcomes of the 2017 Sydney International Wine Competitors were introduced not too long ago and Waimea Estates was delighted that 4 of their winestyles caught the eye of the judges. This wine show is a little different in that the wines are judged twice &ndash as soon as in a official location and the next time judged with a dish designed by the competition&rsquos in-house chef so as to gauge the wine&rsquos foodstuff-matching capacity. Waimea Grüner Veltliner 2016 and Spinyback Pinot Gris 2015 have been equally awarded Gold Medals &ndash positioning them in the top fifteen% of the wine show&rsquos 2000 entries. Waimea Sauvignon Blanc 2016 and Spinyback Riesling 2016 went 1 phase even more to be awarded a Blue Gold Medal furthermore a positioning in the Best one hundred wines overall which spots them in the best five% of the present wine sales online.

 

The Chairman of Judges, Kym Milne MW was quite happy with the last choice of wines — &lsquoan incredibly higher high quality assortment of wines&rsquo. Kym went on to focus on one wine (to our delight!), &lsquoThere is a whole lot of fascination in substitute white kinds at present. Many of these substitute versions generate far more subtle, textured quite foodstuff helpful wines as opposed to several of the classic varieties with sturdy, distinct varietal figures i.e. Sauvignon Blanc. Waimea Grüner Veltliner fits that description completely. A quite refreshing, vibrant and lively white, with yellow peach, quince-like and floral aromas plus a hint of white pepper spice. A nicely textured palate with a slight hint of balanced sweetness is followed by a distinctly chalky, peppery mineral grip to the end which cleanses the palate beautifully wine shop. A genuinely intriguing stylish foods wine.&rsquo

 

Ben Bolitho, Waimea&rsquos General Manager was normally delighted, &ldquoIt was a large thrill to hear that these four wines had completed so properly in this distinctive and well-regarded present exactly where our wines are judged together with meals, but to then learn that the Chairman experienced talked about our Waimea Grüner Veltliner after profitable a Trophy for the 2015 classic of this certain wine was just the icing on the cake! Whilst 4 Golds are constantly pleasing, the large thrill for me is the Blue-Gold Prime a hundred positioning of our Waimea Sauvignon Blanc 2016. It is our flagship wine and the fantastic news is that it has only just been launched so we have great stocks of this wine in a number of marketplaces and Majestic Wines in the Uk are performing especially properly with it!&rdquo
