The international tasting competition VINARIUM International Wine Contest 2023 was held in Romania in the town of Dyalu Mare! This year the competition celebrated its 20th anniversary. The Ukrainian dry red wine KOBLEVO Merlot Dry Red Wine was awarded 85.67 points by the competition experts and was awarded the Silver Medal Score out of more than 1300 samples from 23 countries.

"My team and I are honoured to present a real Ukrainian wine, and it is a great joy to receive immediate recognition and a silver award! Merlot dry red wine from the Reserve line meets all the criteria that play an important role in the evaluation by the commission consisting of certified sommeliers. Its superb elegance in tandem with a fascinating intensity of aroma and richness of flavour make this wine an incomparable masterpiece. The aroma reveals red berries and grated poppy seeds, while the soft taste is distinguished by moderate astringency and incredible drinkability," said Tatiana Ivantsova, Development Director of Wine and Cognac Products at Bayadera Group.
