The Decanter Gold Medal Case 2026
Every year over 19,000 wines are submitted to The Decanter Wine Awards. Judging takes place blind, by a panel of wine experts, sommeliers and journalists and the best wines chosen, after meticulous blind tasting.
Just 5.4% of these wines were awarded a Gold Medal in 2026 and this case includes 6 Gold Medal winning wines. To Win Gold, A wine must be exceptional and it must have scored a minimum of 95 Points. There are also Top Value Gold medals awarded to an even smaller amount of wines that have stood amongst some of the most expensive and great wines in the world and this case includes one of these. A Top Value Gold was awarded to 0.2% of the 19,000 wines tasted.
This is the Decanter Gold Medal Case and you are in for a real treat here. Perfect for a gift or a great gift for yourself! We've even reduced it by 10% to entice you to give it a try and roll the dice!
‘Winning a Gold or Platinum award at DWWA can literally change a producer’s life,’ said DWWA judge and Master of Wine Tim Marson. It certainly peaks interest the world over and these winning wines become almost allocation overnight making us even prouder to have secured some of the favourites for this case.
