Gladstone Vineyard’s track record for top Pinot Noir continues

Gladstone Vineyard’s track record for world class Pinot Noir continues unabated with yet another gold medal won on the world stage.

The Wairarapa Vineyard’s Gladstone Pinot Noir 2007 has won gold at the one of the most prestigious and influential independent wine competitions, The International Wine Challenge in London.

Owner and Chief Winemaker Christine Kernohan said this was significant international recognition once again for Gladstone Vineyard, and for Wairarapa Pinots. 

“We are absolutely thrilled with this award which ranks our Pinot Noir with the world’s best.

“And even more thrilling is that we are consistently seeing our Pinot Noir – both from our Gladstone and 12,000 Miles ranges – getting recognised at this level, year after year.”

The judges described Gladstone’s Pinot Noir 2007 as “Strawberries, cream and spice notes on the nose.  Complexity lasts through the finish.  Saturated with flavour: spice, cranberry, rhubarb.  Lots of red fruit and a persistent earthiness.”

The International Wine Challenge is a renowned international wine contest, which takes place annually in London.  This year’s competition included entries from a record 41 different countries.
