Rockburn Strikes Gold

The 2006 Rockburn Pinot Noir has earned a gold medal at the 2007 Air New Zealand Wine Awards, New Zealand's premier wine competition.  
 
The competition is owned and organised by New Zealand Winegrowers, the national organisation for the country's 1,300 grape growers and winemakers.  This year, more than 1,500 wines were judged by 16 local and international judges to identify medal and trophy winners for each of the varietal categories.  This is the highest number of entries ever received in the history of the Air New Zealand Wine Awards.

In addition to the gold medal, the Rockburn "Parkburn" Riesling 2007 also took home silver, while the Rockburn Pinot Gris 2006 won bronze.
