Cortes de Cima awarded the IWSC Trophy for Portuguese Producer

This is  the first time the International Wine and Spirit Competition  has decided to award a Trophy to Portugal, and the decision to create the category, was largely due to our outstanding results in this year’s competition, which most certainly merited a Trophy!
