About the Top100

The Top 100 is New Zealand's premier international wine competition.
Liquorland started it back in 1994 with one simple aim: to find the finest
wines in the land. The event has grown in size and reputation ever since.
 
A team of local and international wine judges taste over 1,400 entries to
award the very best wines available in New Zealand. The Top 100 is
prestigious for the winners, and has also become an invaluable guide for
wine lovers.

2006 saw a record number of gold medals. The number awarded was 77 which
equates to just over 5% of the total number of entries. Chief Judge Brent
Marris comments "The overall quality was very high with some real highlights
such as the 2006 vintage Sauvignon Blancs, Australian Shiraz and New Zealand
Syrah".
