Question: What about the results of the 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards?
Answer: Yes, waited to reply to your question until the results were announced today. Also there was a most insightful Zoom seminar today about this excellent Competition held by Wine Scholar Guild with Andrew Jefford, Caro Maurer MW, and James Tidwell MS discussing the outstanding judging process. Also Logistics head Simon Wright on how they superbly organize some 18000+ entries with 4 bottles each for a total of over 72000 bottles. Totally amazing most well run credible event.
The Awards are now up on the Decanter website including the Top 50 Best in Show. Pinot Noir from Tasmania were impressive! Two Cru Beaujolais 2023 from the same producer of Domaine de Colonat made it with quite different styles according to Andrew of Morgon Les Charmes “exuberant fruit” and Moulin a Vent Les Greneriers “balanced, complex, meaty” plus a Retsina Kechris “Tear of the Pine” from Greece.
Canada did well led by an Estate Annapolis Valley Chardonnay 2021 from Nova Scotia by Blomidon Estate Winery. Lots of British Columbia recognitions led by Golds for Church and State 2020 Roussanne, Unsworth Vineyards 2021 Pinot Noir, Blasted Church Vineyards 2022 Small Blessings Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, Phantom Creek Estate 2020 PVV Cuvee Red, CedarCreek Estate Winery 2022 Estate Riesling – Value too!, and Nk’Mip 2022 Qwam Qwmt Icewine Riesling.
Great work by Decanter. Check out the just released results.
