July 14th – New Zealand’s Giesen Group has been awarded the Champion Trophy for Best Organic Wine and Top New Zealand Syrah Trophy at the July 2022 International Wine Challenge in London. The 2019 Clayvin Single Vineyard Marlborough Syrah is sourced from the Giesen family’s flagship Clayvin Vineyard in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough, a vineyard that has historically set the highest quality standards.

The 2022 Champion Trophy adds to global recognition for this spectacular wine. Across an international field, only 22 Champion Wine Trophies were awarded at this year’s London International Wine Challenge. 2019 Clayvin Single Vineyard Syrah was described by the judges as “Fragrant, lifted aromas of spice, violets, plump ripe blackberries and black pepper. The palate is elegant and quite rich with fine tannins, polished damson fruit and black cherries with a suggestion of bacon on the finish.”

“We’re delighted to have won this prestigious international award for our Clayvin Organic Syrah. The Clayvin Vineyard is an important part of our company DNA and enables us to create some very special organic wines, which will continue to evolve over the next decade,” added Giesen Group Chief Winemaker, Duncan Shouler. “The viticultural and winemaking teams meticulously manage every last detail of this special site, and it means so much to have the Syrah recognized on a global stage, against many worthy international competitors.”
