Trophy winners will be announced at the International Wine Challenge awards dinner to be held at Grosvenor House in London in July. Last year Yealands Estate picked up three trophies for its Single Block S1 Sauvignon Blanc 2011 winning the International Sauvignon Blanc, the White Marlborough trophy and the 2012 James Roger Trophy.
