Matching what was happening on the rugby field, Italy, USA and New Zealand had each provided a ‘team’ of 15 consisting of five Gewürztraminers, Pinot Gris and Riesling. The winners were chosen after a blind tasting of all 45 wines.
It was fantastic news to see the Trophy for best Riesling awarded to our Blackenbrook Riesling 2009 and the overall Trophy for the Country with the most wines in the First XV Selection going to New Zealand, represented by Nelson Wineries.
After accepting the Trophy, Daniel commented:
To win Best Riesling against such great competition was a real honour for us.
Riesling is like the white Pinot Noir for winemakers, it’s quite a challenging variety and to win against such stiff competition is huge. With four out of the five Riesling winners coming from Nelson that’s all really good for the Nelson Region.
