Chateau Mukhrani Reserve Royale Awarded Plantinum at Decanter

Chateau Mukhrani Reserve Royale (Saperavi 2012) received an unprecedented award; the first to be presented to a Georgian wine: the Platinum Medal Best in Category, Best Georgian Red.

The award was received at the Decanter World Wine Awards which is known as the most influential and prestigious international wine competition in the world. From more than 17,000 wines from around the globe which applied, Chateau Mukhrani Reserve Royale received the highest award available in the competition. According to the rules, the Platinum Medal is awarded to Gold Medal winning wines which are later re-tasted in specific categories. Prior to 2017, no Georgian wine had received a Gold Medal at the Decanter Awards.

There is a long list of international wine competitions worldwide, of which the following three British competitions are of highest influence: International Wine Challenge (IWC), International Wine & Spirits Competition (IWSC) and the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA).
