Gold medals announced for 2015 Air New Zealand Wine Awards

Following 1,407 wines being entered in this year’s Air New Zealand Wine Awards, judges have awarded 84 gold medals to wines from around the country. Michael Brajkovich, chair of judges and Master of Wine said the most pleasing aspect of this year’s awards was the spread of gold medals across a number of varietal styles and regions. “Pinot Noir was once again the star performer with 18 golds,” he said.
