The judges comments were
Johanneshof Cellars Gewürztraminer 2014
Pronounced, lifted nose, so perfumed! Jasmine, citrus flower, lychee aromas. Weighty, rich
palate, mouth coating. Sweet and concentrated with exceptionally long-lasting flavours -
an amazing wine!

Winning a Trophy at the Six Nations Wine Challenge has just surpassed the honour of being nominated as one of the100 best New Zealand wines to represent our country in the ‪Six Nations Wine‬ Challenge.
We travelled to Sydney this month to compete in the competition, which is owned and managed by the Association of Australian Boutique Winemakers Inc. The head office is in Sydney Australia and the judging takes place there in August each year. Entry is by invitation only and the judge representing each country makes his selections in anticipation of winning the various awards. The challenging countries are Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States of America.

We are so proud to have won Champion Aromatic Wine in show with our Johanneshof Gewurtztraminer 2014, and to add this trophy to our collection!
