Chaired by renowned wine authority Michael Fridjhon and judged by a panel of both local and international experts, the competition is respected for its rigorous blind-tasting format, where wines are judged purely on quality. For your consumers, these accolades act as powerful endorsements, boosting trust and driving demand on the shelf or wine list. Award-winning wines not only elevate your offering but also convert interest into sales by giving consumers an easy reason to choose them with confidence.

Congratulations to our producers for earning this mark of excellence!
