We are beyond thrilled to share that our 2024 Riesling has won a trophy at the Aotearoa Wine Show! Our team travelled up to Auckland to attend the awards lunch, where we were presented with this incredible honour among New Zealand’s finest winemakers. It was a moment of excitement, pride, and celebration as we accepted the award in recognition of the hard work and dedication that goes into each bottle.
Our Riesling, with its balanced sweetness and vibrant acidity, reflects the unique terroir of our Marlborough vineyard. Each sip brings flavours of fresh lemon-lime citrus, stone fruit, and hints of honeysuckle and jasmine—true to its Rapaura roots.
The team enjoyed a fantastic day at the awards lunch, and the celebration continued into the evening with a few well-earned drinks, toasting this unforgettable achievement.
What’s Next?
With this trophy win energizing us, we’re excited for what’s to come. Keep an eye out for our next big release—a new wine that we’re keeping under wraps for now! Here’s to creating more wines that showcase the best of Marlborough and to many more reasons to celebrate. Cheers from the Sugar Loaf team!
