Jammertal Wine Estate

We are pleased to announce that our Cassiopeia Franc 2015 red won a gold medal at the Feminalise World Wine Competition ( FWWC ) in Paris.       FWWC  a special concept: wines are judged exclusively by female wine experts and by female jury members with the extensive tasting experience. The founder, Didier Martin, with a 30-year history of organizing wine competitions, recognized the economic importance of female consumers in relation to wine as a global business.

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...
