The National Estate-Grown Wine Competition

Estate wine is made from grapes grown in a vineyard owned or controlled by the winery. The wine stays on the estate during the entire process of vinification, including fermentation, conditioning, aging, & bottling.

The Wine Natty strives to serve as the National Championship of American estate-grown and vinified wines.

MARCH MADNESS!

Our 2025 Best-in-Show is the NV Estate Petit Verdot from Montaluce Winery in the Dahlonega Plateau AVA located in North Georgia

The judging panel consisted of American Wine Society Certified Judges and high level WSET Certified Judges who brought years of competition judging and wine industry experience. Entries were received from West Coast to East Coast, from California to North Carolina. 

Each entry was evaluated blind by a panel of eight judges in a single pour non-flighted round-table format. Each wine was poured in a clean crystal glass, presented to the judges individually and scored on a 100 point scale. We do not drop low scores therefore the final score is a true average of the eight judges.
