What is the AMW Annual Collection?
Each year, Appellation Marlborough Wine selects a standout group of Sauvignon Blancs that reflect the best of Marlborough. These wines demonstrate excellence in origin, authenticity, and craft. The Collection represents different subregions, winemaking styles, and the diversity of Marlborough’s terroir — all underpinned by AMW’s strict certification.
2024 AMW Annual Collection
Now in its third year, the 2024 Collection features 12 Sauvignon Blancs selected from over 75 wines submitted by AMW members. The judging panel included:
- Stephen Wong MW (Chair)
- Elaine Chukan Brown (Wine Enthusiast)
- Paul Stringer (Moore Wilson)
“2024 was a solar vintage with very expressive but also beautifully balanced fruit. The wines have breezy ease and effortless drinkability, even this early on... Producers should be proud of how complex and sensitively handled many wines were.” – Stephen Wong MW
The wines selected represent both classic and alternative expressions of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Each is AMW-certified and available for purchase through participating retailers or direct from the winery.
