Marlborough wine maker Jules Taylor was awarded the Label and Litho Champion Sauvignon Blanc Trophy at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards gala dinner in Auckland on Saturday night.

The Jules Taylor Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010 placed first in a line up of fourteen gold medal winners in the highly competitive Sauvignon Blanc category to take out the prestigious trophy.

The Air New Zealand Wine Awards judges recognised the Jules Taylor wine for its distinctively rich and fruity characters.

“The fruit intensity is superb in this vibrant wine showing plenty of stonefruit, lime and herbal characters. Mouth watering and delicious!”

Jules Taylor is internationally renowned for her ethos of producing small quantities of high quality, handcrafted wines from selected sites in Marlborough, and is thrilled to have received this latest accolade for her Sauvignon Blanc.

“Winning a trophy in a competition of this calibre is always a thrill, and that we have managed to capture the top spot for Sauvignon Blanc makes it even more special for me as it’s a variety I’ve always had a real passion for,” says Jules.

“Sauvignon Blanc is the main stay variety of the New Zealand wine industry and I believe that a continuing focus on creating and promoting the best we can achieve with this grape will create benefits that will flow through to all New Zealand wine makers”

Jules Taylor Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010 is available from Glengarry, Liquorland and other fine wine retailers for $23.90
