We are pleased to share the results from the 2026 Sommeliers Choice Awards.
Held annually in the United States, the Sommeliers Choice Awards recognise wines that perform particularly well in restaurant and hospitality settings. Wines are assessed by Master Sommeliers, beverage directors and on-premise buyers, with a focus on quality, value and drinkability in market.
The Landing Chardonnay 2023 received the following awards:
- Double Gold
- 97 Points
- Wine of the Year – New Zealand
Given the challenges of the 2023 growing season, this recognition feels especially meaningful. It reflects the care and commitment of both our vineyard and winery teams, and the resilience of the vineyard through a demanding vintage.
While accolades are never the goal, it is always rewarding to see the work that goes into each vintage acknowledged by respected industry professionals.
A quiet recognition of the people, place and season behind the wines.
