Do you know the feeling when you stop, look back, and realize that it all made sense? That is exactly how we felt when we received the diplomas from this year’s Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2025. From one of the most recognized world wine competitions, we are bringing home eight gold and eight silver medals.
For our winery, this is a huge honor and proof that even wines from our vineyards can stand up in strict international comparison.
The 32nd edition of Concours Mondial de Bruxelles was held at the beginning of June in Yinchuan, in the heart of the Ningxia wine region (China). Over three days, 7,165 wines from 49 countries were tasted blind by a total of 375 international experts from 56 countries. The unparalleled diversity of professional profiles confirms the status of CMB as the most international wine competition in the world.
Winning a medal at this competition is not a matter of course. Only about 10% of the entered wines receive a gold medal, and when the jury awards one of our wines with this medal, we see it as a strong confirmation of quality.
This year, the jurors decided to award 16 of our wines – eight gold, eight silver.

Each of these medals belongs not only to our team in the cellar and vineyards but also to our customers, because it is their trust that allows us to devote so much care and attention to wine.
The medals from Brussels are not just a “sticker on the bottle”. Wineries that succeed in the competition gain recognition from experts and journalists around the world. And what’s more – customers can be sure they are holding a wine that has passed a strict international selection.
For us, such awards help us grow. They give meaning to the work in the vineyards, confirm that we are on the right path, and motivate us for future competitions.
Come and taste the wines that the world loves!
You can find the awarded wines in our wine shop, available every day for self-tasting, and in the offer of our e-shop Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2025. Come and see for yourself that even wine from our region can compete with the world’s best.
Thank you for your support. We make wine that has a soul – and now also 16 medals from Brussels.
