The International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) is an annual wine and spirit competition founded in 1969 by the German/British oenologist Anton Massel. Each year the competition receives entries from over 90 countries worldwide. The awards given by the competition are considered as high honors in the industry.
In 2023 New Zealand had a successful year with medals awarded to over 200 wines, including seven gold medals.
We are thrilled that we are one of the seven golds! Check out our results below.
GOLD:
