Decanter Awards 2018 for Greek and Cypriot wine: Better than ever

Decanter.com has just published the medals awarded to each country online; the most influential wine competition in the world. As always, I am happy to have been part of the judging team for Greece and Cyprus, which had Nico Manessis chairing the panel.  

This year the awards for Greek wines feature a Best in Show award (the previous International Trophy) which was announced last week and which is regarded as the jewel of the crown in the Decanter Awards. Best in Show winners are all wines that have already received Platinum medals and have been re-tasted several times to make it to the top-tier; they have been tasted by Decanter co-chairs, Sarah Jane Evans MW, Andrew Jefford and Michael Hill Smith MW. Only 49 wines in the world, among the 17.000 participating wines, received this medal!
