The first Marlborough Wine Show celebrated the region's wines and announced trophy winners at a special dinner held at Marlborough Vintners Hotel on Saturday night. From the recent judging of 424 entries, 47 wines were judged to be 'excellent' leading to a total of 17 trophies presented during the evening.

Supreme winner was Invivo Sauvignon Blanc 2011, winning Champion Sauvignon Blanc 2011 as well as the trophy for Champion Wine of the Show. Unable to attend the dinner, Invivo's Auckland-based business partners asked their grape grower to represent them and collect the certificate of excellence. On hearing they'd won the two trophies, grower Mike Hood said, "It was the most exciting 20 minutes of my life!"
