The 2026 National Wine Awards

RESULTS

It has been a privilege to have your wines in the National Wine Awards and

we thank you for entrusting them with us.

Chair of Judges, Jane Cooper, said “the 2026 vintage produced some stellar wines with incredible concentration and varietal richness. Viticulture and winemaking teams should feel very proud of the work they are doing and it thrills me to be here championing excellence in Aotearoa New Zealand wine.”

Trophy recipients were announced on Sunday 8 November at the Hilton Auckland.
