Leogate Estate flies the flag for the NSW Wine Industry on the International Wine Show circuit
May 21st, 2021
Leogate Estate has been awarded a Gold Medal at the 2021 International Wine Challenge in London for its 2019 Leogate Estate Reserve Western Slopes Hunter Valley Shiraz.
The International Wine Challenge is the world’s most influential, impartial, and rigorously judged wine competition across the globe. Where thousands of wines from over 50 countries are judged by a panel of international wine experts in a rigorous two-week blind tasting, in London, this April.
This competition is very close to me, as it was the pivotal point for Leogate Estate Wines and my winemaking career when our 2011 Leogate Estate ‘The Basin’ Reserve Hunter Valley Shiraz took out the prestigious ‘James Rogers Trophy’ for the Best Wine in its First Year of Production at the 2014 IWC Competition, says Senior Winemaker and Director, Mark Woods.
