Indiana wineries win medals in national and international wine competitions throughout the year.
Wines entered at wine competitions are judged independently by qualified wine judges. Competition results offer an unbiased view of a winery's wine. Wines are judged based on the true character of the wine grape ~ For example: Does this Chardonel look, smell and taste like a Chardonel wine should?
Wines can be awarded a gold medal, silver, bronze or no medal. Special awards are given to exceptional wines. When unsure of which wine to choose at the winery or store, award lists are helpful in selecting wines that are well-made.
