Spain: II Musts of Jerez competition
Close by the celebration of the 80th anniversary of our Denomination of Origin Jerez-Xeres-Sherry, the Regulatory Council launches the second edition of the contest musts. Jerez institution encourages all wineries and registered viñistas to participate in this initiative which is expected to become a classic of this season, in the assurance that contribute to rebuilding those issues directly linked to sherry with his Origin: the vineyard.
Repetitive, but it´s a different cycle each year. The 2015 vintage in Jerez (Spain), which began unusually early, will yield some young wines-some “musts”, to use the slang magnificent locally, which will provide the perfect raw material for the next dew solera systems.
It is a commitment of the Regulatory Council put an increasing emphasis on the origin, in linking their wines with land and vineyards from which they come. It is to highlight those young wines from vineyards registered in the PDO that, according to the judgment of the Tasting Committee of the Regulatory Council -and of course tasting through ciegas- show the highest levels of excellence. In order to see the diversity that characterizes Jerez, two categories are distinguished in this contest: musts registered wineries processing and handicraft made by viñistas registered musts.
In both categories, three prizes, endowed with the corresponding trophies and diplomas will be awarded. All growers and wineries interested in participating in this first contest must submit a bottle in the Regulatory Board and complete the form to be given to them in the new downtown revitalization and visitor reception of Jerez, located in the Control Board before December 3. On December 4, the Tasting Committee of the Regulatory Council shall meet and decide to taste the winning wines in each of the categories. The announcement of the same will be made as soon as the committee has completed its deliberations and corresponding awards at the “beneficial zambomba Three Kings” to be held on December 5 in the Atalaya Museums. In it, the audience can enjoy the finalists musts well vote for their favorite.
These votes will enter the draw and the winner will receive a gift that will deliver in situ César Saldaña, CEO of the Regulatory Council, which has also just been appointed the Wise Man of the Cavalcade of Jerez 2016.
The Regulatory Council only made public the list of award-winning wineries or winemakers and not participating wineries or winemakers.
