The celebration marked the fact that Monsoon Valley was awarded a Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2015 held in London.
Monsoon Valley has had a remarkable 12 months, with more than 40 awards at seven global wine competitions, reflecting the brand’s stature as a leading player in the Asian wine industry.

On hand to welcome them was Archibald John Gracie, winery and supply chain director of Siam Winery. The evening was also attended by Kathrin Puff, head of the winemaking team at Siam Winery.
