The 10th International Chardonnay Challenge was judged in Gisborne New Zealand last week with the Trophy winners being honoured at a gala awards dinner on Friday night last.
At the presentation Mistletoe Winery from the Hunter Valley NSW was awarded a gold medal for its Reserve Chardonnay 2009.
This was one of only 14 Gold medals awarded in a field of over 400 Chardonnays.
The Mistletoe Chardonnay was then also awarded the Trophy for the Reserve Wine of Show as the second highest scoring gold medal wine judged across all classes.
This win is a significant one for the Hunter Valley which, as a region over recent years, has been producing better and better Chardonnays.
Mistletoe Reserve Chardonnay is a single vineyard wine that commenced production in 2003.
Every vintage of the Mistletoe Reserve Chardonnay produced since 2003 has won numerous awards and accolades and in total to date they have collectively amassed:
4 Championships, 20 Trophies and more than 30 Gold medals.
The 2009 Mistletoe Reserve Chardonnay will be released in July 2010 and interested parties should contact Mistletoe directly to register their interest.
