World-famous Chilean brand “Cono Sur”, which is one of suppliers of “Sommelier” LTD, won the Japan Wine Challenge 2008 this year.
Cono Sur Winery was awarded a total of 13 medals – three of them gold – and the “Riedel Japan award for Best White Winemaker 2008”. The Japan Wine Challenge 2008’s awards ceremony took place on Wednesday 11-th July at the Grand Hyatt Tokyo. This year out of the 1700 wines tasted, 67 picked up gold, 223 silver and 582 bronze.
Cono Sur received the “Riedel Japan Award for Best White Winemaker 2008”, which is presented to the company with most medals in the white category. It’s the first time this award goes to a South American wine producer. There are only four categories at the “Riedel Japan Wine Challenge Awards” and Cono Sur was the only Chilean winery to be prized.
