Sugar Loaf Riesling takes NZIWS Trophy

After winning Double Gold, our 2025 Sugar Loaf Riesling has gone one better — taking out Trophy Riesling at the New Zealand International Wine Show!

Kate and Dave took the stage in Auckland last night to accept the award — a proud moment for the team — before celebrating with a well-earned glass (of Riesling, of course).

Here’s what the judges had to say about our Riesling:

Trophy for Champion Riesling
Sugar Loaf Riesling 2025, Marlborough
Nectarine and lime blossom, underpinned by a tint of wet slate. On the palate dances zesty citrus and ripe orchard fruit, with a crystalline acidity that gives it electric precision. A subtle note of honeysuckle adds a graceful, almost ethereal sweetness.
