16 DECANTER MEDALS FOR OUR WINES

Slovenia received a record number of medals, totaling 223, with our cellar bringing home sixteen. We have increased the number of wines boasting a Decanter medal by four.

"Scoring sixteen medals at this year’s Decanter competition showcases the dedication and hard work of our team. With the right talent in place, we're excited to elevate our performance in the years ahead. We're keeping our fingers crossed for favorable conditions this year to craft wines that truly reflect our style: fresh, fruity, aromatic, and mineral," upon receiving the awards, said owner Tatjana Puklavec.

Robert Gorjak, speaking to the specialized website ovinu.si, said: "Wines that are awarded silver medals at Decanter would typically receive gold at most other competitions. Especially those with 92 points or more in other evaluations generally collect gold medals. The late Steven Spurrier said this a long time ago. We have several wines rated between 92 and 94 points. Perhaps in previous evaluations, some of them would have received gold medals, but evidently, it's true that the criteria were a bit stricter at this year's judging."
