A year later his Black Label Chardy won Gold at the 1984 Royal Easter Wine Show. Wind the clock forward a few years and in 1995 Morton hit international wine star status as the Black Label Chardonnay won a Gold medal and Trophy for Best Chardonnay at the prestigious International Wine Challenge in London!
