At the 32nd Annual Sydney International Wine Competition, our 2011 Syrah has been awarded a Blue-Gold Medal and is amongst the Top 100 wines in its catagory.
Fantastic results to add to the Silver Medals and 4 stars it has already received! You can only purchase this wine at our Cellar Door now as we have limited amount of stock left of this award winning wine.
We have received a record haul of medals for our Kahurangi Estate wines combined with our International Selection of wines, ports and sherries. We collected 6 Gold, 5 Silver and 11 Bronze Medals. At the Awards Dinner held on the 29 September 2012 two Trophies were awarded to our imported wines, one Trophy for Tyrrell's Belford Semillon 2004 in the Champion Other White section and the other Trophy to Williams & Humbert Don Guido 20 Y.O. Pedro Ximinez in the Champion Fortified Wine Section.
We were awarded a Gold Medal for our 2011 Mt Arthur Chardonnay, a Silver Medal was awarded to our Syrah 2011 and 2 Bronze Medals were awarded to our Montepulciano 2011 and Pinot Gris 2011.
Krohn Ports received 3 Gold and 1 Bronze Medals, Tyrrell's Wines received 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 3 Bronze Medals. WIlliams & Humbert Sherries received 1 Gold and 1 Bronze Medal, Mouton Cadet received 1 Silver and 2 Bronze Medals and 3 of our European wines from the Boutinot wine company received 1 Silver and 2 Bronze Medals.
In our International Imported Selections, a GOLD Medal was awarded to 2007 Tyrrell's Stevens Hunter Semillon (which is also in line to receive a Trophy, we find out the results in early October). Two SILVER Medals were awarded to Williams & Humbert Dos Cortados 20 year old Sherry and Dry Sack 15 year old Sherry and 1 SILVER Medal for Krohn 2004 QRN Vintage Port. A BRONZE Medal was also awarded to Mouton Cadet 2010 Reserve Medoc.
Only wines made from single vineyard grapes are allowed to be entered into this competition. We entered 4 wines into this wine show and all four were awarded medals, our most successful wine was the Syrah 2011 with a SILVER Medal. BRONZE Medals were awarded to our Dry Riesling 2010, Riesling 2011 and our Mt Arthur Reserve Riesling 2011 (Please note that these Rieslings have not yet been released!).
In the latest Cuisine tasting panel, our 2011 Syrah was awarded 4 Stars two weeks after the wine was bottled! There were 69 entries that were tasted blind, the panel awarded 4 wines with 5 Stars and a further 10 wines were awarded 4.5 or 4 Stars. From the Top 14 wines in this Tasting only two were outside the region of Hawke's Bay, one from Nelson (our Syrah!) and the other from Waiheke Island.
Here is what they had to say about our Syrah - 'Nelson , indeed. This wine region's remarkable versatility is showcased by Kahurangi's delightful, fresh expression. Lovely florals and a settled, fleshy mouthful come wrapped in vibrancy and colour. "I love the sweet fruit elegance," noted John Belsham.'
If you happen to be in the Nelson region, make sure you stop by our Cellar Door to taste this delightful wine, it will certainly match well with one of our wood fired pizza!
