首先，在《Shanken’s Impact Newsletter》公布的年度Hot Brands热门品牌榜单中，怀得天堂酒庄荣登热门品牌之列，这份榜单专门表彰于当年度在酒类产业中表现卓越的品牌。榜单特别针对2024年在美国进口市场中实现双位数成长的品牌，从葡萄酒类别中挑选出17个成长快速的品牌，而怀得天堂自2016年起，已连续第九年名列其中，成绩亮眼。
怀得天堂自2004年起开始出口美国，当时首批出口仅5,000箱；而到了2024年，出口至美国的总量已突破60万箱，成长幅度惊人。此次再次获选为Hot Brand热门品牌，不仅彰显品牌在美国市场的持续动能，更证明其受欢迎程度依旧稳固、热度不减。
每年都有众多美国消费者远赴纽西兰马尔堡，只为亲访怀得天堂酒庄的品酒中心，亲身感受他们喜爱的葡萄酒是如何种植与酿制。其中最受美国消费者喜爱的当属怀得天堂马尔堡白苏翁白葡萄酒，该酒款更在最近荣获美国权威酒评杂志《Wine Enthusiast》评选为「Best Buy超值精选酒款」，为怀得天堂继获选「Hot Brands 热门品牌」后，再添一笔国际殊荣。
2025年5月19日周一，《Wine Enthusiast》杂志发布其6/7月合刊号，刊登的年度「Best Buy超值精选酒款」报告，怀得天堂白苏翁2024白葡萄酒名列其中，获得91分高分，并入选百大超值好酒名单，该榜单专门表彰价格在20美元（USD）以下，却具备卓越品质与极高价值的葡萄酒。
《Wine Enthusiast》杂志酒评家Christina Pickard盛赞此酒：「它就是派对的灵魂人物！清亮奔放的白苏翁散发出浓郁的莱姆、香茅与粉红葡萄柚香气，底层还带有一丝干燥香草的气息。口感柔滑细腻，随即涌入一股爽口的酸度，瞬间将整体层次拉到最高点。」

Whitehaven named Hot Brand and Best Buy – double success in US recognition
-Whitehaven Wines named among Impact’s Hot Brands for 9th consecutive year
-Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2024 named Best Buy with 91 points by Wine Enthusiast  

Published in Shanken’s Impact Newsletter, the Hot Brands honours list rounds up the top performing brands for the year across the drinks industry. The honours list recognises the imported brands to the USA that have experienced double-digit growth in 2024. 17 fast-growing brands are recognised from the wine category, with Whitehaven among them for the 9th consecutive year since 2016. Whitehaven has been successfully exporting to the United States since 2004 when its first shipment totalled just 5,000 cases. With over 600,000 cases of Whitehaven wine imported in 2024, being recognised as a Hot Brand demonstrates Whitehaven’s continued momentum

in the US market and that its popularity shows no sign of slowing down.

Every year, delighted US customers travel to Marlborough to visit the Whitehaven Cellar Door in order to see where and how their favourite wine is grown and crafted. Top of the tasting list for US customers is the Whitehaven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, which has just been named a “Best Buy” by Wine Enthusiast magazine. Another proud moment for Whitehaven, hot on the heels of their “Hot Brands” success.

On Monday 19th May, Wine Enthusiast released their June/July 2025 issue, featuring the coveted annual “Best Buy” report, including the 2024 Whitehaven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was awarded 91 points, and included in the shortlist of 100 Best Buy wines that are recognised to be stunning quality and priced at $20 (USD) or less to offer exceptional value to customers.

“The life of the party, this lucid, bombastic Savvy B offers up heady lime, lemongrass and pink grapefruit aromas, with a whisper of dried herbs below. There's a gently slippery quality to the texture. In rushes the limey acidity to dial it up a notch—or ten.” - Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast
