Trofeo del Mejor Cabernet del Mundo

The fanfare that surrounded the award has created a worldwide demand from the USA, Europe and Asian markets for the award winning GS Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 that has carried to the whole brand and brought fine wine collectors to our doors. In a world where there are many wine competitions and ratings, I feel the authenticity and professionalism as well as the varietal focus of the Concours des Cabernet makes it one of the finest wine competitions in the world today.

'The Cabernet Riserva from the flagship range ‘Graf’ (‘Count’ in German) comes from an ennobled line of superior quality, cultivated with respect for tradition. These authentic wines restore the unique character of the grapes grown on our territory, in a historical landscape shaped by viticulture.
We saw a 26% increase in sales of Cabernet Riserva the year the Trophy was won. He also contributed to promoting and popularizing the ‘Graf’ range. Consumers praise our wines for their authenticity, and the distinctions confirm their purchase.
To get new markets, you need a great product, renown prices, and a good promotional campaign. This is why we relayed our victory in the media and on social networks.
Each prize won is a great satisfaction for us. This reinforces our quest for quality, authenticity and naturalness. The prestigious award of the Competition is a business card that predicts the superior quality of the "Graf" range, and contributes to the influence of the collective label of excellence ‘South Tyrol’.'

« Antes de ganar el premio, el Grand Reserva era un vino que se vendia sobre todo en Saltillo. Se podria decir un vino de « aficionados », que la gente disfrutaba o consumia dentro de la bodega cuando nos visitaba o para eventos especiales. Una vez ganado el premio, el vino se empezo a distribuir de la misma manera que los demas. Los consumidores empezaron a venir hasta la bodega para conseguir especialmente esta botella. Pues la produccion total del Gran Reserva se vendio en menos de 2 meses.
Gracias al premio, hemos tenido nuevos contactos, no solamento aqui, en México, sino tambien en el extranjero, en los EEUU, en la Suiza y en Dinamarca.
El premio fue un logro comunitario. No fue un premio solo para Viñedos Don Leo sino tambien para toda la vinicultura mexicana. Los otros Viñedos fueron honrados indirectamente de esta distinción como un reconocimiento de los vinos mexicanos. Entonces, todas las bodegas se unieron a la felicitacion. Hemos tenido mucho apoyo de las bodegas hermanas y tambien del periodismo mexicano que hizo muchisima cobertura. Fueron mas de 20 publicaciones.
Por fin gracias al premio, nos otros vinos se vendieron muchissimo, especialmente el que tambien gano una medalla de Oro en el concurso , o sea el Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz. Ahora afortunadamente ya salen las nuevas añadas para poder seguir vendiendo ! »

"Thanks to the Trophy for the World’s Best Cabernet, we have won many new customers. Our Cabernet Sauvignon Grandmaître - Barrique vintage sold out very quickly. It was unlike anything we had ever seen. In fact, it sold out too quickly! But we were able to offer alternatives and introduce people to the rest of the line and other vintages. Relationships with returning customers were enhanced and strengthened, too, because they were proud to have discovered the World’s Best Cabernet before everyone else!

We have also had numerous contacts with the media, and that has made our domain more widely known. We are certainly going to participate in the Competition again, to try and win a second Trophy.”

Mitchell Taylor, third-generation Managing Director and Winemaker, Wakefield Wines:
“We shared the news of our award right away—through social media, directly to our customers and with an Australia-wide media release. The response was incredible. Winning the trophy led to an interview on national TV and widespread media coverage, immediately sparking increased interest in the world-class Cabernet we’re producing at Wakefield Wines, and in this wine in particular.”
