THE BEST OLASZRIZLINGS

THE 2024 EDITION OF THE GROW DE MONDE CONTEST WILL BE HOSTED BY HUNGARY

GROW du Monde, an international wine competition specializing in Olaszrizling (a.k.a. ’Welschriesling’ or ’Graševina’) type wines, was held for the first time this summer, with a wine from Eger among the winners.

At the contest held in Petrovaradin, northern Serbia, Hungarian participants won a champion award and a platinum medal. Furthermore, three gold medals, four silver medals and nine bronze medals were awarded to Hungarian wines. Experience gained at the first GROW du Monde are still being reflected upon, but the follow-up events are already being organized, with Croatia hosting GROW du Monde in 2023 and Hungary in 2024.

Judges from the region

At the first GROW du Monde, 164 wines from seven countries were judged by an international jury, consisting of wine experts, wine writers and winemakers from the region, as well as a Swiss Master of Wine. From Hungary, Zoltán Győrffy and Dániel Ercsey participated as judges. There were, of course, Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian judges, but the number of judges from a single country were maximized at three.

The wines awarded

In the 2021 Fresh Olaszrizling category, the champion prize went to Hungary, with Zelna Winery’s Balaton Olaszrizling 2021 earning this title (the same wine has recently won a platinum medal at the DWWA competition, so it seems that its success is by no means a fluke). Serbia and Croatia won two champion prizes each: the Serbians triumphed in the orange wine category (Vinčić Grašac Amfora 2017) and the sparkling wine category (Vinarija VINUM Dina Brut 2018), while the Croatians won in the Aged Olaszrizling category (Vinarija Krauthaker’s Mitrovac Graševina 2016) and in the Sweet Olaszrizlings (Vina Papak’s Graševina TBA 2015). Another Hungarian winner in the Fresh Olaszrizling category was Bujdosó Winery's Balatonbor, which won a gold medal. Silver and bronze medals went to Pannonhalma, the Balaton Uplands, the Balatonfüred-Csopak wine region, Villány and Eger. In the Aged Olaszrizling category, the top honors went to Bussay Kövecs Olaszrizling and Zsolt Söptei's Varázslat. In addition, Balaton Uplands, Pécs, Balatonfüred-Csopak and Badacsony also won medals in this category, while in the orange wine category, Somló won several medals.
