AND THE WINNER IS…
The Decanter World Wine Awards in London (also known as the DWWA) is the world’s largest and most influential wine show on the planet. Over 18,000 wines from around the world are put to the test by a panel of over 250 wine experts including Masters of Wine and Master Sommeliers. They do the hard yards and select the best of the best in awarding Gold, Silver and Bronze medals – the rest are shown the door!
The Gold medal winners then go head to head to determine the Platinum winners. THEN, the Platinum award winners go to head-to-head to discover the overall Best In Show winners, the top 50 wines from the entire competition!
Below you’ll find a selection Best In Show, Platinum and Gold medal winners from the DWWA.
