The Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment announces the completion of the 13th Cyprus Wine Competition, which was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment and the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). In a spirit of fair play, 33 wineries competed with a total of 178 wines, a number that demonstrates the high interest shown by wine producers.
The Award Ceremony was held in the presence of the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Mr. Kostas Kadis, as well as other personalities and was a great success. Organized groups of the wine sector, wine producers and others involved in the sector were present.
The competing wines were evaluated by a distinguished seven-member Jury under the coordination of Professor Dr. Valeriou V. Cotea, Secretary of the OIV's Scientific and Technical Committee for Wine and supervisor of the Competition to ensure compliance with the rules of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine.
The 13th Cyprus Wine Competition awarded 3 Grand Gold, 47 Gold, and 6 Silver medals, as well as 8 Special Distinctions to award-winning wines from indigenous varieties of our country.
The 13th Cyprus Wine Competition awarded 3 Grand Gold, 47 Gold, and 6 Silver medals, as well as 8 Special Distinctions to award-winning wines from indigenous varieties of our country. It should be noted that the vast majority of the wines that participated in the Competition have received high scores, which would justify the awarding of a medal, if there was no percentage limitation on awards by the OIV protocol. The awarded wines are presented on the website of the Department of Agriculture (www.moa.gov.cy/da).
The 13th Cyprus Wine Competition gives the message that the only winner is Cyprus Wine, whose continued development, the upward trend of its quality and the fact that it is competing deservedly with wines of internationally recognised value are highlighted.
