Bodegas Pago
de Ritos Wins at China
Wine and Spirits Awards During Typhoon
Bodegas Pago de Ritos just hit the highest standard at the most
influential wine and spirits competition in the world – CWSA - China Wine and Spirits Awards. Winning a
Gold during a huge Typhoon that braced Hong Kong.
CWSA
is the most influential wine and spirits competition in the world - helping to
sell a staggering 90 million bottles per year. Long renowned internationally as
the biggest and most prestigious wine and spirits competition in China, CWSA
Judges are the most powerful buyers in China.
‘When we heard Typhoon 10 was coming – the
highest level possible, and that this was only the 15th time since
1946, we knew it was a big one’, a
CWSA Spokesman reported. ‘The Judges, are
very important people and they travel from every corner of mainland China to
attend CWSA and we were determined to continue the blindtasting. Assembling
this ‘Power Group’ takes months of planning and long established relationships.
The Judges were excellent sports and literally tasted samples calmly throughout
the night, despite Typhoon Hato. This demonstrates the robustness and ambition
of the market here. Wine is serious business in China. CWSA Judges want to be
the first to taste the newest offerings from producers around the world so they
are the first to buy what CWSA Results announce.’
CWSA 2017 was the
biggest on record with an excess of 5,000 samples from 55 countries around the
world. High profile entrants include Peter Lehmann, Jacob’s Creek, Bacardi,
Sileni, Bernard Magrez, Casa Ermelinda Freitas, Champagne Collet, Dewar’s and
Label 5.
‘We are so extremely happy to hear that our
samples performed so well at CWSA 2017’ reported Isabel Vargas ‘The blind tasting continued throughout a Typhoon, and it
sounds very exciting and dynamic, thank you to the CWSA Judges for their
determination’
