Judging the 2026 Wynn Signature Chinese Wine Awards in Macau

In March 2026 a group of experienced wine judges from around the world gathered in Macau, China, to judge the third edition of the Wynn Signature Wine Awards. This is a short film of the event, which included some excellent educational seminars, as well as a final night bring-a-bottle dinner for the judges. The results will be published in April 2026:

And here’s a short film of a walk around Macau:

Some of the wines we tried at the judges’ party

Good to see this Similkameen wine (BC, Canada) making its way to Macau!
Saperavi from Giorgi Solomnishvili in Kakheti, Georgia
Yeringberg, Yarra Valley pioneer
Brézé Blanc from Clos Rougeard in Saumur
Classic Aussie
This is one of China’s top wineries
Super stuff from biodynamic star PJ Kühn
Really impressive Mosel Pinot
Cathiard makes big wines and this aged pretty well
Penfolds in China: very modern, very good
Exciting to try this, the second wine of MH’s Shangri La project. Really good.
