Hawke\u2019s Bay winery, Church Road<\/strong> has achieved excellence at the annual Winestate Wine of the Year Awards<\/strong> announced tonight with Chief Winemaker, Chris Scott, crowned New Zealand Winemaker of the Year<\/strong> for a record fifth time.<\/p>\n

Scott said of the wins: \u201cIt\u2019s a real honour to win Winemaker of the Year for a fifth time \u2013 wow! This award is as much for the team here at Church Road as it is for me. We have such a huge amount of skill, experience and dedication amongst the Church Road family and an incredible fruit resource from some of the very best vineyards in Hawke\u2019s Bay. It is a bit of a dream really, to do what we do and we\u2019re lucky to be able to do it in such a beautiful part of the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As an unprecedented five-time winner of Winestate New Zealand Winemaker of the Year (2013, 2016, 2020, 2021, 2022), Scott represents the culmination of 125 years of winemaking excellence at Church Road that showcases the natural expression of some of Hawke\u2019s Bay\u2019s most prized grapes and vineyards.<\/p>\n
