Your wine is being looked at really carefully and fairly, and being tasted blind by people who are really experienced in this area. This means if it does well at DAWA it will do well outside in the marketplace.

The competition then culminates in a final tasting of Platinum winners by the Vice-Chairs where the ultimate accolade of ‘Best in Show’ is given to the finest wines of the DAWA.
In the second week, a panel consisting of Vice-Chairs and Regional Chairs re-taste all the Gold winners and award Platinum medals to the best wines.
An excellent wine of great complexity & character
A well-made, straightforward& enjoyable wine
A very accomplished wine, with impressive complexity
In the first week, Regional Chairs oversee their respective panels, settle any score discrepancies, and re-taste all Silver and Gold winners for consistency. Vice-Chairs then re-taste all Gold winners for final endorsement. Silver winners are therefore tasted twice and Gold winners three times. This rigorous process ensures that each wine is reviewed thoroughly.
