Bird Wines Enjoys Gold Rush
Posted on 11. Nov, 2010 by villagepr.
Leading Tauranga winemaker Steve Bird is attracting international acclaim by winning more gold medals, proving he is genuinely one of the best in the business.
Bird’s winemaking talent was rewarded again this week when his 2009 Old Schoolhouse Vineyard Pinot Noir won a ‘pure gold’ medal at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards – one of only two Marlborough wineries to achieve pure gold for Pinot Noir.
Pure gold medals are awarded to outstanding wines that are 100 per cent sustainably-grown and produced. The annual competition – which is New Zealand’s premier wine event – saw almost 1600 wines entered from 10 key wine growing regions.
