The Decanter World Wine Awards results for 2008 are out and theres more than a surprise or two amongst the winners.The trophy for International Pinot Noir went to a German wine from the Ahr, the Dernauer Pfarrwingert Spätburgunder Grosses Gewächs 2005 from Weingut Meyer-Näkel. It beat out competition from NZ, Chile and a Burgundian Grand Cru to win.
And to rub salt in the NZ wound, South Africa were not only the most successful country overall but they also took out the International Sauvignon Blanc Under £10 Trophy Best Sauvignon Blanc award.
Its a tough world out there.
