Wooing Tree Pinot Noir 2009 wins Trophy at the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Competition
Wooing Tree Pinot Noir 2009 wins the Trophy for the Best Wine with Peking duck at the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong
International Wine & Spirit Competition.
The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit Competition is a unique event and the first of its kind. Run in partnership with the London-based International
Wine & Spirit Competition, which has been running for 40 years and is the world’s premier platform for recognising quality in
the industry, the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Wine & Spirit Competition is created specifically for the Asian market by those who know and are intimately involved in the
region.
Debra Meiburg MW, director of the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong IWSC, said "The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong IWSC is the world's
first authentically Asian wine competition, supported by key factors such as Asian judges, the inclusion of Chinese food
and wine pairing categories, and awards for the best wines produced in key Asian countries, including China.
The competition results will offer the Asian wine consumer the ultimate guide to purchasing wine that is sensitive to
the Asian palate and cultural consumption patterns. Co-owner Steve Farquharson was extremely delighted to have won
another trophy in a major completion and commented “it is very significant to gain recognition in the world’s fastest
growing wine market, especially for the wine pairing with the Chinese classic Peking duck” He added “looks like we will
be celebrating with Wooing Tree Pinot Noir and Peking Duck very soon.
Wooing Tree is situated in the heart of Central Otago next to Cromwell and opposite the big fruit sculpture. The family
