Hat-Trick of Trophies for The Doctors’ Riesling 2014

The Doctors’ is Back, a Hat-Trick of Trophies for The Doctors’ Riesling 2014

Iconic New Zealand wine; The Doctors’ Riesling 2014 has won a hat-trick of trophies this month - picking up a double for Champion Riesling and, significantly, the Champion Open White Wine at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards on Saturday night.

A hat-trick for The Doctors’ Riesling 2014; and the 3rd vintage in which Forrest Wines innovative new range “The Doctors’ has featured in the trophies at the prestigious Air New Zealand Wine Awards. Dressed in top hat and tails to pay homage to The Doctors’ crowd pleasing label; Dr John Forrest, owner and winemaker, accepted the trophies at the glitzy ceremony on Saturday night.

With almost 1,500 entries from across New Zealand, the Air New Zealand Wine Awards are New Zealand’s most prestigious wine competition. Dr John Forrest commented “It is a pleasure to receive these trophies for this particular wine. I first produced this style in 2006, it has consistently delivered and helped put Riesling back on the map with consumers here in New Zealand and globally.”

This is not the first time The Doctors’ Riesling has been awarded at this show, the 2006 vintage winning Gold, 2008 winning the Riesling Trophy and 2009 winning Open White Wine Trophy, all helping to propel this Riesling to one of New Zealand’s favourites.

John also added that “The Doctors Riesling has the added benefit of containing only 9% alcohol - it has always been good for the mind, body and soul. One of the reasons we started making this wine back in the day, was our desire to offer a quality, lower alcohol wine; something to consider with the impending drink driving law changes this December in New Zealand.”

Notably, The Doctors’ Riesling also received a Gold medal and the Best Riesling Trophy at the 2014 Marlborough Wine Show.

Forrest wines is a family run winery in Marlborough, New Zealand, whose mission is to provide Excellence through Innovation from the vineyards through to the market for their wines.
