The accolade comes at the right time. While global demand for bulk wine has been strong over the past four or five years, Alistair says international demand has slowed up in recent months. “It’s a ‘wait and see’ as far the impact of this medal win goes, but we are hopeful that it will translate into sales for us.” Gold success in Amsterdam
