We are proud to announce Penfolds has been awarded the Best Fine Wine Producer in the Rest of the World Award at the 2022 Golden Vines® Awards.
Organised by Liquid Icons, the Golden Vines® Awards recognise the ‘star performers of the fine wine industry’, as well as raising funds for the Gérard Basset Foundation with the aim of financing diversity and inclusion-related education programmes in wine, spirits & hospitality.
Last year’s initiatives and the inaugural Golden Vines® Awards Ceremony, held at Annabel’s Private Member’s Club in London, raised over £1.2 million to support this cause.
943 leading fine wine professionals from 106 countries voted for the winners of Awards. Those who voted included 56 Masters of Wine, 32 Master Sommeliers, 72 Advanced Sommeliers and 250 DipWSET qualification holders. Those polled in the survey averaged at least 14 years of fine wine experience.
Each winner received a trophy in a specially-designed and produced trunk-case by Golden Vines® sponsor, Gucci. The trophy - in the shape of a giant ‘popped’ champagne cork - was produced by Amorim Cork and royal-warrant holders Grant MacDonald, with artwork from Ethopian-Italian artist RED, and the creative direction of famed artist and Golden Vines Artistic Director Shantell Martin.
We are absolutely delighted to recognise such an extraordinary calibre of fine wines, their producers, protagonists and industry supporters with The 2022 Golden Vines Awards.
