"The event, which took place at the London Wine Fair in tribute to Stephen Spurrier’s infamous Judgement of Paris tasting, saw European wines take on the Rest of the World’s offer with judges including leading Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers and wine experts."
Top scoring wine: Pegasus Bay Riesling, Bel Canto, Waipara, North Canterbury, New Zealand 2011
This is a massive achievement for a wine produced from what is a small but exciting wine region in New Zealand.
Pegasus Bay (Donaldson Family) produce world class Rieslings and this is recognition they thoroughly deserve!
Bel Canto is a late picked (normally Botrytis influcend) Riesling that is fermented to dryness and really is a special wine.
I am very familiar with the Donaldson Family and the Waipara/North Canterbury region, so happy to answer any questions you may have.

Very cool, wish I could try a bottle here in NYC but Wine Searcher Pro is coming up empty.
Welp, time for a trip to NZ, I guess?
