GOLD MEDAL & TROPHY: New Zealand International Wine Show 2009
ELITE GOLD: Air New Zealand Wine Awards 2009
90/100 & 4 STARS: Bob Campbell MW
"Generous, opulent Gewurztraminer with masses of exotic fruits, rose petal and mixed spice flavours plus a full-bodied, almost chewy mouth feel to match. This is a rich and warming wine with loads of appeal." Bob Campbell MW
"A richly textured wine with a whisper of sweetness and floral, tropical characters. It's immensely drinkable and delicious" Judges Comment - Air New Zealand Wine Awards
From the first vintage release of a trophy-winning Sauvignon Blanc in 1997, Waimea Estates has attracted attention. Bob Campbell MW commented early on: “I am profoundly impressed by the overall quality of the wines – this is clearly a winery worth watching.”
