We are thrilled to share our accolades from the 2020 Decanter World Wine Awards – the world’s largest and most prestigious wine competition.
In a field of over 16,000 wines, both the Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay finished in the top 1% of wines tasted. Our 2018 Chardonnay finished with a Platinum Medal. The tasting’s top honor, “Best in Show” was awarded to just the best 50 wines, including our own Cabernet Sauvignon!

Double T
Many of the vines producing the grapes for this wine are trained on a quadrilateral cordon trellis, commonly known as “Double T.” The vine is pruned and trained so that its branches, or cordons, form four arms resembling two Ts, hence the name. Double T also refers to the two Trefethens, owners John and Janet, who created the Tempting Taste of these wines, which you may find yourself Tasting Twice.
