Matthew Jukes releases annual NZ Pinot Noir Classification (NZ)

Matthew Jukes, has released his fifth annual New Zealand Pinot Noir Classification, that places Ata Rangi, Bell Hill, Felton Road and Mt Difficulty, in top ‘five star’ position. Compiled in conjunction with Australian wine journalist Tyson Stelzer and based on a rolling average rating of the five most recent vintages, it has been devised to highlight producers who make consistently excellent wines year after year. The classification is aimed in contrast to “static” classifications such as the Bordeaux 1855 classification, reports Harpers Wine & Spirit.
