09/30/2020

At the 23rd "Mondial des Pinots" wine competition in Sierre (Switzerland), eleven German Pinots, including seven Pinot Noirs, were awarded a gold medal. Another 19 German Pinots won a silver medal. Over three days, 58 jurors evaluated 1132 wines from 21 countries for the competition which had been postponed from May to September.

Wine producers from Baden in particular, took advantage of the international competition and almost half of the gold medals went to wines from that region. The most successful German entrant however, with three gold medals was Geils Sekt and Weingut from Dalsheim in Rhineland-Hessen with their Dalsheimer Bürgel 2016 and 2017 Pinot Noirs and Pinot Noir "S".
