Leveret Estate Winery's 2017 Falconhead Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been awarded a gold medal at both the 2017 New World Wine Awards, one of the largest and most influential wine shows in New Zealand and the New Zealand International Wine Show.
"Wining two gold medals in this highly competitive category (Sauvignon blanc) is a fantastic result and testament to the quality of wines that we produce at our Katikati winery," Fiona MacDiarmid, sales and marketing director said.
"We are long-time supporters of this competition because of its unique focus on wines that are affordable and widely available, while judging quality on the same basis as all other major wine competitions."
The New World Wine Awards are judged by a panel of 16 independent expert wine judges that blind taste and judge each wine using the same internationally recognised 100-point scale as other wine competitions worldwide.
