Style it out by entering our Chardonnay Masters
Chardonnay is “an important barometer of taste” according to Patrick Schmitt MW, and therefore it is crucial that your wine stands out. Enter our Global Chardonnay Masters now to do exactly that.
Now in its eleventh year, the competition will identify the best Chardonnay from all around the world in every price range. The types of wines from this variety can vary hugely — making it even more important to stand out on the shelves.
From ‘skinny’ Chardonnays to more indulgent styles at the top end, where there are sulphidic wines, dubbed by judge Jonathan Pedley MW as “the struck match/leesy/citric style” at last year’s competition.
It can be used to make such markedly different styles of still white wine, according to what’s in vogue. At the moment, it’s powerfully flavoured and richly-textured Chardonnays that are demanded, at least at the more mainstream end of the market.
But whatever your style, make sure to enter our awards for the variety here now.
Unlike other international competitions, The Global Masters series is judged by grape variety rather than country. Every wine will be measured on the taste of its grape and the skill of its winemaker.
All Global Masters are judged blind by the finest palates in the world – a panel of Masters of Wine, Master Sommeliers and senior buyers only. The best competing wines will be awarded medals from Bronze through to Gold, and ultimately “Master” for exceptional examples.
The calibre of the judges guarantees international recognition of all the medals awarded.
The administration fee is £159 per entry.
