Air New Zealand Wine Awards

Fruitfed Supplies is proud to support New Zealand’s premier wine competition as a sponsor of one of the varietal categories. Selected from the gold medal winners in our category, the winner takes out the Fruitfed Supplies Champion Syrah Trophy. The Champion Wine is then selected from the 18 category winners.

With over 1700 entries, the Air New Zealand Wine Awards [www.airnzwineawards.co.nz] is a fiercely-fought competition, designed to promote excellence in winemaking for the benefit of New Zealand winemakers and wine drinkers. The competition is owned and organised by New Zealand Winegrowers [www.nzwine.com] and is the New Zealand wine industry’s official awards competition.
