Portuguese Wine Producer Shortlist
We are excited to learn that Cortes de Cima has been selected for the International Wine and Spirit Competition’s Portuguese Wine Producer Trophy short list. The other 3 runner-ups are Vinhos Barbeito, Henriques and Henriques, and Symington Family Estates and the results will be anounced at a banquet on 17th November at London´s Guildhall. Our nomination is based on our achieving our best results ever at this year’s competition, 3 Gold Medals all in ‘Best in Class’ and 3 Silver Medals, 1 of which was ‘Best in Class’.

That’s great news. As a “trainee” judge at the IWSC I was impressed with integrity of the whole judging process. I never did taste any Portuguese though - my 2 days were Argentina and Italy.
Good luck!

Colin, that´s good to have a confirmation from an ‘insider’. There is always plenty of speculation about the integrity of certain wine competitions, and that’s one reason we try to be very selective in the competitions we enter, and avoid the doubtful ones! I hope you are lucky and get to judge Portuguese wines next time!
