Celebrating excellence in New Zealand Wine


Chair of Judges Report 2019The second year of the New Zealand Wine of the Year™ continues the move to a fresher format with a focus on re-invigorating the New Zealand wine show scene. The New Zealand Wine of the Year™ aims to celebrate the entire New Zealand wine industry with a particular lean towards vineyard excellence and regionality. The increasing relevance of Organic grape-growing and a move towards a single vineyard focus in our industry has been rewarded in this format. The important commercial categories that drive the volume and export sales remain along with increased rewards for wines of provenance.

With an increased focus on these categories, it is important that the wines are judged in an appropriate manner so as to Illustrate the differences and strengths. Wines are judged in regional brackets where feasible. Similarly, the Organic wines are not only judged in the

main depth of the show but also presented as a class of Organic wines in isolation. This gives the best wines the strongest opportunity to shine.

Following the three days of judging, 76 gold medals were awarded. The average quality of the wines was very high with a strong return of both silver and bronze medals suggesting the current vintages of 2018 and 2019 are both good ones.

A return of 6.3 % gold is true to industry standards and reflects a wine show with strong rigour in its judging. A further example of this rigour is the audit process, carried out post judging to ensure the wines that win awards are true to the ones available in the marketplace.

It is particularly pleasing to see a spread of gold medals throughout the majority of the New Zealand’s wine regions. The larger areas of Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago again took out the lion’s share of the awards with multiple golds also given to the Gisborne, Nelson and Canterbury regions. Golds were also awarded to the Wellington and Auckland regions with Northland achieving strong silver medals.

The gold medal list and resulting trophies show our maturing and evolving wine industry beginning to more strongly display a relationship between variety, style and wine region. More than ever we are finding a true sense of place in our very youthful wine industry.

Marlborough dominated the gold medal tally with close to 50% of the awards with a particular strength in the Sauvignon Blanc category. Central Otago was prominent in Pinot Noir, as has been the recent norm


while Hawke's Bay completely dominated the full-bodied red category, while also fighting Marlborough for Chardonnay bragging rights. The aromatic white varieties were well divided between regions. Other individual highlights were achieved by the smaller wine regions with Nelson, Canterbury and Gisborne having both varietal and regional successes. Emerging and alternative wine styles were also rewarded across multiple regions.

The newly introduced Provenance Class, in its second year, was once again a very competitive class with each set of wines judged over three vintages spanning a minimum of 10 years. The top brackets demonstrated the potential for New Zealand’s most age-worthy styles.

The gold medal winning wines then went on to vie for 13 varietal trophies and eight regional awards. In a change to previous awards, the varietal and regional awards were declared prior to the Awards dinner celebration in Blenheim on November 16.

The completion of this process is the awarding of the eight major trophies for the New Zealand Wine of the Year™. These trophies include the New Zealand Wine of the Year™ Champion Wine, Best Single Vineyard White Wine, Best Single Vineyard Red Wine, Best Open White Wine, Best Open Red Wine, Best Organic White Wine, Best Organic Red Wine and Best Wine of Provenance.

I would to thank the entire team who were involved in the 2019 New Zealand Wine of the Year™; New Zealand Winegrowers, our many sponsors, judges, stewards and Shona White, the show coordinator. In particular, I wish to acknowledge our

international judges – Steve Flamsteed (Australia) and Treve Ring (Canada). International judges provide great global perspectives on wine varieties and styles and contribute hugely to the stylistic direction of our wines. Also, to James Millton, our resident Organics and Biodynamics guru who infused his skill, knowledge and passion into the three days of judging. Also, to Ben Glover who, as deputy-chair, was invaluable working alongside a team of 15 senior judges and 10 associate judges. Altogether, this made an impressive line-up of wine-judging talent. The pool of talent is being continually refreshed and rotated to include a diverse range of age, gender and background. I have every confidence that the wines we have selected as a group are a remarkably strong and diverse range of world-class wines.

To the winners, please celebrate your success. To all others, please celebrate with those who have won!

TROPHYA Trophy is the highest accolade a wine entered into the New Zealand Wine of the Year™ can receive. The judges award Gold Medals in each class, and only these are put forward to be considered for a Trophy. The judges then hold a ‘taste off’, and vote for which of these Gold Medal winners is the best wine in each category. This wine is then awarded the Trophy.

GOLD, SILVER AND BRONZE MEDALS

Each wine entered into the New Zealand Wine of the Year™ is tasted blind by a panel of three senior judges and two associate judges. The wines are served in anonymous glasses so that judges do not know what wine is in the glass. The judges score each wine using the 100 point system developed

in Australia. Each wine is assessed for colour and clarity, aroma and bouquet, and taste and general impression. The three senior judges’ scores are averaged and medals are awarded to wines whose scores attain the medal standard.

Medal Guide

Excellent quality(95 - 100 out of

100 points)
