AWC Vienna International Wine Challenge 2009
September 2009
Golden Kaan once again proved its high quality in a renowned international wine competition. A gold medal has been assigned to the Private Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 at the AWC Vienna International Wine Challenge 2009.
The Golden Kaan Private Collection Cabernet Sauvignon originates from vineyards around Stellenbosch. It is a dark, ripe and intense wine with a firm tannic backbone and plenty of black-berry, plum and spicy currant flavours, picking up cedary spice, oak and tobacco notes. It is a complex and concentrated wine for sophisticated demands.
Additionally, the Private Collection Chardonnay and the Winemaker’s Edition Shiraz received a silver medal.
2009 marked the sixth year for the AWC Vienna International Wine Challenge. This largest international wine contest in Austria takes place under the patronage of the Federal Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and the Environment. In a blind taste test, 300 independent enologists and wine experts sampled and tested nearly 9,000 wines from throughout the world.
The presentation of the results and the award ceremonies will be held in the presence of more than 2,500 invited wine experts and wine lovers in the course of the „Wine Gala Night 2009“ in the ballroom of Vienna’s City Hall on November, 2nd 2009.
