Rockburn Pinot Noir Wins Two Golds at Global Pinot Noir Masters
New Zealand estate Rockburn has triumphed at the Drinks Business Global Pinot Noir Masters, winning two gold medals for the 2013 and 2014 Pinot Noir.
The Central Otago boutique producer once again made its mark on the world stage, picking up two of the three gold medals awarded to Central Otago producers in the £20-30 price bracket at this extensive international blind tasting.
Rockburn’s General Manager, Paul Donaghy says: “It’s fantastic to see that our flagship wine is not only highly rated here in New Zealand but on par with some of the world’s greatest Pinot Noirs. Michael Cooper rated the 2013 vintage just recently 5 stars and with this fantastic result we look particularly forward to releasing the 2014 vintage in a few weeks’ time in June/July.”
An expert panel of judges consisting nine Masters of Wine and one Master Sommelier and chaired by The Drinks Business editor-in-chief Patrick Schmitt MW assessed the entries for this tear’s Masters.
