GlenWood Vineyards won one of the four Chardonnay trophies, continuing its seven-year run of awards. Its Chardonnay Vigneron's Selection 2008 also won National Champion Chardonnay at the Novarre Terroir Wine Awards 2009 and a 4½ star accolade in the Platter's guide. Awards won by previous vintages include gold at the Trophy Wine Show, the Veritas Awards and Mundus Vini in Germany; and four stars in Wine magazine, amongst others.
