Philip Gregan Named 2026 NZ Winegrowers Fellow
For the past 35 years, Philip Gregan has helped select New Zealand Winegrowers Fellows, working with the board to choose a cohort of extraordinary industry champions.
That's an honour in itself says found Kevin Judd.
"It is also humbling to be sitting alongside so many iconic international wineries."
The Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley 2020 and McBride Sisters Collection Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2021 also made the list of 100, along with Central Otago's Burn Cottage for its 2019 Pinot Noir from the Burn Cottage Vineyard.
Wine Spectator describes their annual Top 100 Wines list as a collection of the most exciting wines discovered in blind tastings over the past year.
Their editor team reviewed more than 8,800 wines, and nearly 60% of those rated 90 points or higher.
