Viñedos de La Cuesta, Gold Medal at the Prestigious Mundus Vini Competition in Germany
The new wine from Bodega J. Fernando, Viñedos de La Cuesta, has been awarded a Gold Medal at the international Mundus Vini competition, one of the most renowned wine contests in the world, recognized for the rigor of its blind tastings and the outstanding quality of the wines presented.
This recognition represents an important endorsement of the winery’s work and the international projection of a wine that stands out for its authenticity and its ability to convey the true character of the Tempranillo variety, under the Protected Geographical Indication Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla.
The Mundus Vini Competition
Founded in 2001 in Germany, Mundus Vini has become one of the most influential competitions worldwide. Each edition gathers a jury of oenologists, sommeliers, distributors, and specialized journalists, who evaluate thousands of wines from around 40 countries. Winning a Gold Medal in such a demanding context confirms the exceptional quality of Viñedos de La Cuesta, positioning it among the great wines on the international stage.
Viñedos de La Cuesta: A Tempranillo with Character
The award-winning wine is a 100% Tempranillo, aged for 9 months in French and American oak barrels. This process achieves a precise balance between the varietal expression and the subtle influence of the wood. It is a red wine of deep cherry color with garnet hues, offering a clean and expressive nose dominated by aromas of red and black fruits —such as cherry, raspberry, and blackberry— well integrated with notes of vanilla, cocoa, and light toasts.
On the palate, Viñedos de La Cuesta is broad, juicy, and balanced, with ripe and polished tannins and a lively acidity that enhances its freshness. Its finish is long and persistent, with hints of spices and ripe fruit that invite you to prolong the experience.
A Prize that Strengthens the Winery’s Identity
The Gold Medal at Mundus Vini is a recognition of the winery’s continuous pursuit of wines that combine tradition and modernity, as well as its commitment to quality at every stage of production.
Viñedos de La Cuesta thus becomes an ambassador for Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla, reinforcing the prestige of this indication and highlighting the potential of Tempranillo in the region. This achievement represents not only a source of pride but also a strong motivation to continue projecting the winery’s identity into new international markets.
With this distinction, Viñedos de La Cuesta establishes itself as a benchmark wine, capable of captivating both specialized juries and wine lovers around the world.
