Wines of Portugal Challenge 2013 gold medal winnners

I judged at the Wines of Portugal Challenge in Santarem last month, the results of which were released on Friday.

There was a gold medal for every week of the year – yep, that’s 52, four of which bagged best of awards and 11 of which scooped premium gold awards.

A healthy silver (81) and bronze (125) medal tally too.

Below you’ll find the gold medal winners; click here to find out the full results. As you’ll see, João Portugal Ramos’ Duorum venture with José Maria Soares Franco performed notably well and there were good performances from co-operatives.
