Gold Award goes to Jammertal Wine Estate

Hungarian wine estate wins gold in Madrid at International Magnum Awards 2020

As the only Hungarian prize-winner at the International Magnum Awards ( IMA ) 2020 competition in Madrid, Jammertal Wine Estate’s Cassiopeia MCS*Achird 2012 Magnum was awarded by Gold Medal.

IMA competition, where only magnum formats of premium quality wine are considered, has been held in Madrid since 2008. This contest promotes wines in larger bottles because in the opinion of wine experts the magnum format significantly improves the quality of wine. The awards for the best magnum wines popularise this exclusive form of ageing wine. 

About Magnums

The word magnum is derived from Latin and means “big”. This format is twice the size of a usual 0.75 litre wine bottle. The larger size lends a more elegant appearance to the wine but the maturing effect the bigger bottle has on the wine is even more important. While ageing in the bottle the wine changes by absorbing minimal amount of air penetrating through the cork. Larger volume of wine oxygenized through the same-sized cork results in mellower and slower ageing process in the bottle, thus leading to more sophisticated end product.

Designer Wine: A Precedent Setting Invention of Jammertal Wine Estate

Image
Jammertal Wine Estate’s success story stems from its original concept of designer winemaking. Producing wine is not a l’art pour l’art activity. It’s about making products for sale. The final value of a ready - made wine would be influenced by a lot of factors. One of them is especially important: how it fits with the costumers’ tastes. In the wine business there are global and local trends. Sooner or later global trends would make a significant impact on local preferences. Just an example: until the early 2000s you could read disdainful articles by experts squawking about what a mistake the trend towards making red wines with higher alcohol content was. Nowadays no one anywhere in the world would take a red wine seriously under 13.5 % alcohol. The time of 12.5 % Bordeaux wines for $$$$ is over. We could also cite the long - lasting debate of the necessity of small barrel ageing. As a rule of thumb those who opposed changes most vehemently were the ones who were not prepared for t

Out of about seven and a half thousand samples the highest score in the red wine overall category was received by the   Cassiopeia Merlot 2015   from Jammertal Wine Estate Villány. This great red won the   Grand Gold Medal Revelation Red Wine   Award .   The relevance of this worldwide success is that no other international wine competition of similar prestige had ever been awarded a Hungarian red wine the highest score among her peers in such an open category.   The value and the magnitude of the competition is shown by the fact that medals have been distributed among 672 French, 507 Spanish, 389 Italian and 335 Portuguese wines, but the highest score went to a Hungarian Merlot!   The wine competition, which took place from 17-27 June, saw 300 judges evaluate nearly 10 000 entries over 9 days.
