Chinese wineries entering the competition will compete for the Wynn Signature Best Wine of China Trophy and 27 other category trophies championing the excellence of major varietal and regional expressions.
The judges for the competition will be led by Chairman Eddie McDougall, three Masters of Wines - Fongyee Walker MW, Gus Zhu MW and Andrew Caillard MW – will serve as as vice-chairs.
The line-up of judges will also include the likes of Jane Anson (Bordeaux expert); Iain Riggs (Order of Australia Recipient); Ronny Lau (Chairman, Greater China Wine Critics Association); Kenichi Ohashi MW; Julien Boulard MW; Reeze Choi (World No. 3 Sommelier); Madeleine Strenweth MW; Jeremy Stockman (MD, Watson's Wine); Yohann Jousselin MS, Xiao Pi (China's leading Wine KOL) and many more.
The judging process will be conducted blind, under the international 100-point system whereby medals will be allocated to wines based on a tiered scoring system.

Wynn will appoint an external auditor to conduct random background inspections of wineries who submit their wines whilst also qualifying the accuracy of the judges' scores.
