West Brook Barrique Fermented Chardonnay

The 2009 West Brook Barrique Fermented Chardonnay just received a Gold Medal at the Liquorland International Wine Competition 2010. This adds to the pedigree of what has become a must buy for Chardonnay lovers. This gold follows up the 2008 Barrique Fermented Chardonnay that was awarded a 5 star recommendation, and 2nd place in Cuisine's Chardonnay tasting , and the 2007 Barrique Fermented Chardonnay that took away gold and three trophies at the New Zealand International Wine Competition.

The awards keep on coming...

2010 has gotten off to a great start with a Gold Medal at the Royal Easter Show for our 2008 Waimauku Estate Chardonnay and 4.5 stars for our 2009 Riesling in Cuisine magazine...

And now our 2008 West Brook Barrique Fermented Chardonnay has got 5 stars and finished second in Cuisine's annual Chardonnay tasting (the winner retails for over $50)...There's limited stock left so there's a 3-bottle max per person. Buy it here...

The Harvest Festival went well...

But if you weren't able to make it, here's a video of what it all looked like...thanks go to Tuatara Films and Kantuta.

New Zealand International Wine Awards

The New Zealand International Wine Awards Dinner was held on the 19th of September 2009. After winning two gold medals for our West Brook Blue Ridge Chardonnay 2007 and our West Brook Barrique Fermented Chardonnay 2007, West Brook was in contention for a trophy along with all gold medal winning wines.

We were delighted with the results: the West Brook Barrique Fermented Chardonnay 2007 swept three trophies – a great result for a wine with a recommended retail price of under $20!
