Top Awards & International Recognition: Successes of 2024
In 2024, our wines once again set new benchmarks on the international stage, achieving record-breaking results and earning numerous top ratings. This year, special attention is on our TRES 2016, which received outstanding accolades, including the title of best red wine cuvée with 97 points from Falstaff.
From Around the World: Two Gold Medals at the DWWA
Our wines celebrated remarkable international success in 2024. We were especially honored to receive two Gold Medals at the Decanter World Wine Awards: 96 points for AMOS 2022 and 95 points for KOFL Sauvignon 2022. This was a moment of immense joy, particularly for our cellar team and our new winemaker, Erwin, who achieved such outstanding results with the first vintage under his leadership!
We also impressed Jancis Robinson, one of the world’s most influential wine critics, who awarded excellent ratings to five of our wines. This recognition earned us the second-highest average rating among all producers in Alto Adige – a testament to the consistency and quality of our work.
Overseas, we garnered further praise: Vinous, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast all awarded our wines with 90+ points, further solidifying our international reputation.
