NZ: Wine Enthusiast ‘Region of the Year’

American-based Wine Enthusiast Magazine named NZ “Region of the Year” at their prestigious Wine Awards for 2002. Said judges of our viticultural edge; “When examining the NZ wine industry, broader themes emerge, encompassing such important concepts as innovation, consistency, diversity and value. In 2002, no other region of the world offered as much in all of these areas as NZ. […] New Zealand is a paradigm for other wine regions to emulate.”
