Drinks Business Pinot Noir Master Released

The results of the Drinks Business Pinot Noir Global Masters have been released, after over 350 examples from 16 countries were tasted and scrutinised by some of the trade’s most experienced MWs and Master Sommeliers.

The winning wines make it quite clear that top quality examples of Pinot Noir can come from just about any of the world’s major wine producing regions. Represented among this year’s gold medal winners were New Zealand, South Africa, Austria, Australia, Chile, Germany and Italy. Although both California and Oregon failed to achieve the same level of accolade as last year, they were nevertheless well represented in the medal table along with Romania, France, Argentina, Canada, Bulgaria, Spain, Switzerland and indeed England.
