News in from overseas about one of Hawke’s Bay’s top level wines: One of Te Awanga Estate’s flagship wines, the Trademark 2018 Chardonnay.
It was tasted as part of a recent New Zealand review by influential American wine critic Robert Parker’s publication, Wine Advocate. Nearly 500 wines were reviewed, and, along with five other wines, was awarded the top score of 94/100 points but was the only Chardonnay to do so.
This international result follows on from the success of the Trademark 2016 Syrah in The Global Masters 2019 series where it was awarded a Master medal, along with winemaker Rod McDonald being named on the inaugural Master Winemaker 100 list by the drinks business (UK) two months ago.
