The World Wine Championships is America's oldest annual international wine competition. It is a medal-based competition, with each awarded based on the 100-point scale. Wines are judged blind by the Beverage Testing Institute's trained staff, together with top wine professionals and buyers from retail and restaurants.
The awards follow further success for the St Andrews range, which also recently received medals for its 2012 (silver), 2013 (gold), 2014 (silver) and 2015 (silver) riesling at the Drinks Business Global Riesling Masters held in the UK.
Produced from hand selected parcels of fruit from individual blocks on the iconic St Andrews vineyard, St Andrew wines are quickly becoming benchmark examples of great Clare Valley wine around the world.
Taylors third generation Managing Director, Mitchell Taylor, said he was excited to end the year on such a high note.
“It’s been an incredible year for our family winery. Our entire portfolio has exceeded expectations in the international awards circuit and the St Andrews range is no exception. Credit is due to our outstanding winemaking team who put so much energy into ensuring the St Andrews range represents the finest expression of our unique terroir.”
The vintages are yet to be released in Australia, but will be available through Taylors Wines early next year. Keep updated via drinksbulletin.com.au
