Each year, the IWSC Wine Producer Trophies recognise excellence across the global wine industry. Celebrating both heritage estates and pioneering new names, these awards spotlight producers who consistently deliver quality, character and innovation in their wines.

Our judging panels look for more than a single standout bottle. They reward producers who demonstrate vision, craftsmanship and consistency across their range. The 2025 shortlists showcase the diversity and brilliance of winemaking talent worldwide, from classic European regions to exciting new frontiers.

Winners will be revealed live at the IWSC Awards Celebration.
