\u201cAMW\u2019s Annual Collection continues to recognise and celebrate world-class Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc,\u201d says Michael Wentworth, CEO of AMW. \u201cThe 2024 Collection highlights our member\u2019s dedication to quality, expression of our region\u2019s unparalleled terroir, and to winemaking craft.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s collection was judged by three people – Stephen Wong MW, Elaine Chukan Brown (Wine Enthusiast), and Paul Stringer (Moore Wilson), bringing global expertise across education, media, on-trade, and retail sectors. “We are thrilled to have worked with such a distinguished group of judges,” says Mike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The panel evaluated over 75 current vintage Sauvignon Blancs, selecting a top 12 that reflects the region\u2019s unique vineyard sites and winemaking styles. The 2024 AMW Annual Collection wines are all current releases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Chair of the judging panel, Stephen Wong MW, remarked: \u201c2024 was a solar vintage with very expressive but also beautifully balanced fruit. The wines have breezy ease and effortless drinkability, even this early on. When making the selection, the judges found it hard to ignore the charming 2024 expression even if the standard of many 2023 wines in the ‘alternative’ category were impressive. From what we tasted, producers should be proud of how complex and sensitively handled many wines were.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n THE APPELLATION MARLBOROUGH WINE ANNUAL COLLECTION 2024:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Appellation Marlborough Wine\u2122 (AMW) was founded in 2018 to protect the integrity and reputation of Marlborough wines by ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality, provenance, and sustainability.
