About MUNDUS VINI

MUNDUS VINI was founded by Meininger Verlag and has been one of the most important wine competitions in the world over 25 years.

The more than 11,000 wines entered every year clearly demonstrate that the significance of the competition extends well beyond Germany.

Wineries can compare the results of their own efforts in a competitive international environment.

The international jury consists of highly respected professionals: winemakers, wine merchants, sommeliers and wine journalists. Qualified judges taste the wines in “ blind “ tasting rounds.

The wines are rated according to the 100-point scale of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), which is recognised by the Union Internationale des Oenologues (UIOE) as well.

MUNDUS VINI competitions are held twice a year. 

A summer tasting in August links up with the autumn fairs and year-end business of Holiday Season. A spring tasting is held in February before one of the world’s largest wine trade fairs, ProWein in Düsseldorf.

The Jammertal Wine Estate has an excellent track record at MUNDUS VINI.

Over the years, we received 6 gold medals and 2 “Best of Show Hungary” awards.

This year at Spring Tasting 2021 we were given our seventh gold medal. A big red of 2012 vintage, Koh-I-Noor 105.6 achieved a score of 91 points at the competition where no wine has yet received a score of 100.

2 ‘ 534 samples entered in our category. We made it to the top 1%.

KOH – I – NOOR 105.6 Vintage 2012

Midnight black with aromas of berries and cassis explode from the glass. A strong wine of balance and harmony, with a long intense finish filled with perfectly ripe black and blue fruits.

Instead of describing the wine we would prefer letting its name speak for itself: the weight of the Koh-I-Noor diamond is 105.6 carats…

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

The   Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2021 , one of the world’s most prestigious wine competitions was held in Luxemburg this year. 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.
