Amazing success! Hungarian sparkling wine is now one of the best in the world
Change language:
Out of more than 479 items from 19 countries, the Hungaria Rosé Extra Dry sparkling wine won a gold medal at the Effervescents du Monde World Competition in the Burgundy wine region, and it also got included in the top 10 list.
In the high-quality sparkling wine competition organised for the 18th time, an 80-member jury ranked the items at the Château des Ravatys in France in the second half of December.
According to turizmusonline.hu, this event is unique in terms of its scope, its strict methods, such as compliance with international wine competition rules, the rigorous selection of the panel of expert judges and their training in tasting methodology at the Institut Paul Bocuse, the individual assessment of each taster, and the faultless, quality-driven organisation: the limitation of the number of wines tasted per judge and the ideal tasting conditions (sensory isolation, proper tasting rhythm, etc.)
The goal of the event is to award reliable and representative medals each year, reflecting the founding motto of Effervescents du Monde®: diversity, quality, and high standards.
While not doubting the quality of the wines, it would be interesting to see how much of it is actually exported. I used to travel a lot and it was very rare to find Hungarian wines on the shelf in all the countries that I visited
