With 68 gold medals handed out at this inaugural competition, which was about 6% of all entries, this is an awesome result for the newly relaesed 2010 vintage and wonderful to see the follow on from the fab 2009 vintage which is now sold out. Fear not, the 2010 has just arrived in stock in NZ so a great time to warm up with a little golden aussie shiraz. Make sure you get your MOJO working!!
