Following In Golden Footsteps
The wine awards that put Morton Estate on the map two decades ago are this
year likely to do the same for two of the companyıs newest wine styles.
Judges at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards have given two Morton Estate wines
Gold Medals, but this year it is the aromatics that have swayed their taste
buds.

Both the Morton Estate Private Reserve Pinot Gris 2006 and the Morton Estate
Stone Creek Riesling 2004 have gained Gold Medals. It is the second major
award in as many months for the Stone Creek Riesling, which won a Gold Medal
at the Royal New Zealand Show in Christchurch, matched against hundreds of
aromatic wines from Chile, Argentina, Australia, France, Italy and New
Zealand.

Itıs an exciting time for the staff at Morton Estate as the award shows that
our newer aromatic wine styles are meeting our quality standards as we
develop our portfolio of brands.
