The “Great International Wine Award” of MUNDUSvini Internationale Weinakademie, Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, Germany, is the largest worldwide competition under the patronage of the Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin ( OIV) and the International Oenologists´ Association (UIOE).
More than 270 international jury members tested thousands of wines from 49 submitting countries and the results were announced this week . The knowledge that they do distinguish the best of the many wines submitted for evaluation makes the medals so coveted.
ADEGA DO CANTOR is thrilled to announce winning the MUNDUSvini Gold Medal for their VIDA NOVA ROSÉ 2009
Max Birch said “ It is a dream come true! We never thought that a small producer from the Algarve could go out and gain such a fantastic recognition competing with world class wine growing countries. A Gold Medal for our Rosé, which, only last month has won the Best Overall Wine of the Algarve at the Melhor Concurso do Vinho do Algarve, Fatacil, is giving us the reassurance that we are on the right track in terms of producing the best wine this region has to offer and incentives us for continuously striving to aim higher with every vintage!
