Shiraz 2005 – Wine of the Year

Although it's long been sold-out from store shelves, we keep receiving reminders and prizes for our Estate Shiraz 2005.
We recently were awarded the prestigious award given by the World Association Wine & Spirit Writers and Journalists declaring our Shiraz 2005 as the Wine of the Year for 2007.

The WAWWJ competition ranks the wines that have been most
prized in official competitions worldwide.

* The total number of such competitions that took place in 2007: 312
* The total number of samples presented to said competitions during 2007: 316,114
* The total number of competitions during 2007 that were analyzed by the WAWWJ: 147
* Total number of samples considered by the WAWWJ: 96% of the world total: 290,824
* Total number of countries that submitted samples (at least 1 sample to any one competition): 89

Keeping these facts and figures in mind, the Tishbi Estate Winery's 2005 Estate Shiraz won a total of 206 points as it participated in competitions and won the following awards:
Finger Lakes 2007 -Gold
Caribe Vinos 2007 -Gold
VINUS IWSC 2007 -Gold
Terravino - MIWSC 2007- Silver
Decanter 2007 - Silver
IWSC Wines 2007- Silver
IWSC Wines 2007 -Silver Best in Class
ranking it second among all competing wines worldwide
for last year.
And now, even before it's hit the shelves, our 2006 harvest Shiraz has been prized and complimented at the Finger Lakes competition (see above). Just a few more months of bottle-aging and it will be ready for you to enjoy as well.
