Decanter Awards 2019 for Greek and Cypriot wine
Decanter.com has just published the medals awarded to each country online; the most influential wine competition in the world. As always, I am happy to have been part of the judging team for Greece and Cyprus. Unfortunately, this year I only judged the last two days of the competition, so I got a taste of Greek reds (mostly international varieties) and a quite a few Cypriot wines.
Once again in 2019, a Best in Show award features among the Greek wine awards, which is regarded as the jewel of the crown in the Decanter Awards. Best in Show winners are all wines that have already received Platinum medals and have been re-tasted several times to make it to the top-tier; they have been tasted by Decanter co-chairs, Sarah Jane Evans MW, Andrew Jefford and Michael Hill Smith MW. Of more than 16,500 wines tasted, only 50 (0.3%) received the esteemed Best in Show medal.
