Silver medals, 13 bronze and 32 medals of honour. The recognition went to 16 wineries located in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo, showing that the quality of national production is spread over many Brazilian territories.

Of the total awards achieved, Brazil won 27 awards for wines and 24 awards for sparkling wines. According to Diego Mendes, IWC ambassador in Brazil, the competition brought together 10,000 models from 38 countries. “The International Wine Challenge is one of the most rigorous, impartial and influential wine competitions in the world. The taster panels have an odd number of participants and the process is carried out in two stages, which makes the evaluation even more rigorous,” explains Mendes.
