Plume Picks up Prestigious Trophy

We’re delighted to announce that our Plume Sauvignon Blanc 2024 has been awarded Champion Sauvignon Blanc at the 2025 Global Fine Wine Challenge.

Known to be the world’s most exclusive wine show, winemakers must be invited to enter their wines into the competition, which was built on a mission to recognise and celebrate the finest wines from across the globe. Just 120 wines from across New Zealand, Australia, USA and South Africa were selected. 

Winemaker Chloe Gabrielsen said it was a privilege to be invited to enter the show, and to receive the trophy was a true delight. 

“Each of the New Zealand wines entered was selected by Jane Skilton MW, and to have three of our wines picked was an honour in itself. Then to have the Sauvignon Blanc recognised with a trophy was  hugely gratifying,” she said. 

“We work hard to craft this wine; leaving fruit on the vine longer than normal to promote bold flavour concentration and then using minimal intervention throughout the winemaking process. To receive accolades like these is a testament to the meticulous work we put in.”

Other wines entered by Lake Chalice were the Plume Chardonnay 2022 and the Plume Pinot Noir 2019.
