About the Judging:
The International Wine Challenge brings together many of the most important people in the wine world. Co-chaired by Charles Metcalfe, Derek Smedley MW, Tim Atkin MW and Sam Harrop MW, the judging process takes over the London Barbican Centre for three weeks in the Spring each year. The co-chairs oversee the judging process and assist the judges with any tough decisions. It is their task to guarantee the integrity of the competition….
At all stages, wines are marked out of 100, with the following points corresponding to the relevant award:
Gold 95 - 100
Silver 90 - 94
Bronze 85 - 89
A large part of the IWC’s reputation is down to the quality and experience of its judges. This year, more than 465 winemakers, merchants and writers from around the world will take part, including the likes of Oz Clarke and Jancis Robinson MW alongside a panel of at least 42 Masters of Wine.
