The Decanter Asia Wine Awards, Asia’s largest wine competition, is open to wines from around the world and is judged by Asia's most prominent wine experts. More than 2,300 wines have entered this year’s inaugural event, and a total of 2,023 have been awarded a DAWA medal.
Co-chaired by Jeannie Cho Lee MW, the first Asian Master of Wine and a Contributing Editor to Decanter, and Steven Spurrier, Chairman of the Decanter World Wine Awards and Decanter’s Consultant Editor, the Decanter Asia Wine Awards aims to recognise quality wines and provide consumers across Asia with a trusted source of recommendations.
Judging took place in Hong Kong on 16 -19 September, with over 40 top wine experts from across Asia joining the judging panel. Wines were presented in flights of approximately 12 and were categorised according to region and sub-region of production, grape variety, wine style, wine colour and vintage.
“We would like to congratulate all winners in the Decanter Asia Wine Awards,” says Sarah Kemp, Decanter Publishing Director. “All wines were tasted blind and judged by a panel of Asia’s finest palates, and only those which represent outstanding quality are endorsed with a Decanter Asia Wine Award medal. I believe consumers will be able to discover new and exciting wines through our awards.”
