Top Wineries of New Zealand
Bannockburn producer Felton Road has been named Winery of the Year New Zealand 2024 by The Real Review, a list compiled by New Zealand wine critics Bob Campbell MW, Huon Hooke, and Stephen Wong MW.
"Winning Winemaker of the Year is a real privilege, and to win it four times is just incredible," he says of the record run.
"It's such a great testament to the efforts of the entire team here. They're a great bunch of incredibly talented people and it is through everyone's dedication and skill that we achieve the results that we do. It is also testament to the wonderful region we call home and we're incredibly proud that we can do our bit to demonstrate Hawke's Bay's ability to produce wines that are amongst the finest in the world."
The winery also won Wine of the Year and Chardonnay of the Year for the Church Road Grand Reserve Chardonnay 2019, as well as Merlot of the Year for the Church Road Grand Reserve Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2019.
Pernod Ricard Winemakers New Zealand, who own Church Road, won New Zealand Wine Company of the Year.
