The hard work of the Eder winegrower family has been recognised by the judges and must serve as a source of inspiration to other producers not only in Austria but globally.”

IWSC 2024 South African Wine Producer Trophy winner - Cederberg Wines

IWSC judges: “Cederberg’s medal tally at the 2024 IWSC speaks for itself: 3 golds and 4 silvers – a truly excellent hit-rate. David Nieuwoudt’s family-owned winery has long been a pioneer in the production of elegant, balanced wines from its unique, high-altitude vineyards, many miles north of the ‘classic’ Cape regions. In recent years quality has risen yet further; they can be relied on for outstanding quality across several grape varieties, and at remarkably sensible price points.”

Congratulations to Cederberg Wines!

IWSC 2024 Turkish Wine Producer Trophy winner - Likya Wine

IWSC judges: “Likya captures the spirit of their heritage vineyards and authentic Turkish terroir. Their dynamic range of wines brings innovation with deep-rooted commitment to Turkey’s old but unsung wine traditions. These plush and emphatic wines resonate with vitality and personality, making them stand out in the 2024 IWSC competition and solidifying their place as leaders in Turkish wine.”

Congratulations to Likya Wine!

IWSC 2024 Western Australian Wine Producer Trophy winner - House of Cards

IWSC judges: “We are very pleased to see this impressive family-owned organically farmed estate be awarded, it is thoroughly deserved. We were particularly struck by the two Chardonnays that we tasted, which showed such sensitive oak usage, texture and a thrilling minerality as well. Everything that we hope to see coming from Margaret River Chardonnay is on show here – bravo!”

Congratulations to House of Cards!

IWSC 2024 Chinese Wine Producer Trophy winner - Citic Niya

IWSC Judges: “As one of China’s biggest producers, it’s great to see Citic Niya doing so well in a competition like the IWSC. The company entered a large number of wines across a range of styles and varieties, and all but one was awarded a medal, which is impressive. It also throws the spotlight on Xinjiang, a large region but one that isn’t currently as well-known or highly regarded globally as the likes of Ningxia or Shandong.”

Congratulations to Citic Niya!
