Red Single Varieties

Judging this category is such an interesting process – instead of comparing a dozen wines against each other, you weigh the wine on its own merits. What we look for is ‘typicity’. It’s a challenging endeavour, but one that rewards wine professionals who taste often and broadly. The best examples display purity of fruit, an identifiable style, and an appropriate amount of winemaker influence - the world of wine is broad and deep. - Matt Storz
