We are honoured to see our wines stand out on this global stage.
“We set out to craft wines that reflect the soul of this land. As a young wine estate, earning nine awards at one of the world’s most rigorous competitions makes us incredibly proud and confirms we’re on the right path” says Johan Lidby.
The International Wine Challenge (IWC) is renowned for its meticulous blind tasting process and international panel of wine experts. All wines entered in the IWC are tasted blind by a minimum of eight judges, including Masters of Wine and Master Sommeliers, and judged based on faithfulness to style, region and vintage. The competition is one of the most influential in the industry.
