By dint of recent entries to DWWA, Switzerland is making a name for itself on the top 50 list with a Best in Show medal for a third year running – this year to Domaines Rouvinez’s Coeur de Domaine, Valais 2019. Co-Chair Michael Hill Smith MW, added ‘The medals are saying: these are wines that have done really well in the most important wine competition in the world.’ The secret is slowly seeping out that some of Europe’s finest, subtlest, most intricately crafted and most quietly satisfying white wine blends come into being in the Alpine valleys of Valais and elsewhere’ the judges commented, and this remarkable wine is one of them. New Zealand, too, saw its best-ever performance in the top 50 list with four wines receiving this prestigious accolade from Marlborough, Hawke’s Bay and Central Otago.
