Monte Carlo Vermouth Bianco: Gold Medal Winner
Monte Carlo Vermouth Bianco has been awarded the Gold Medal with an impressive score of 95 points. The judges were captivated by its refined and complex flavor profile, stating:
“Delicate floral scents intertwine with zesty lemonade. Elegant and vibrant, it exudes elderflower sweetness. A burst of mandarin and peach blossom on the palate, leading to a long, complex finish.”
This high praise highlights the meticulous attention to detail and the quality of ingredients that go into creating our Bianco vermouth, making it a standout in its category.
About the IWSC 2024 Alternative Drinks Judging
The IWSC 2024 Alternative Drinks Judging took place on May 23-24, bringing together over 60 international judges, including leading sommeliers, buyers, bartenders, and communicators. This esteemed panel evaluated nearly 800 entries, reflecting the high level of competition and the diverse range of drinks assessed.
Vermouths particularly shone this year, with over 50 medals awarded in the category, including 8 golds. Shannon Tebay, who oversaw the vermouth tasting, praised the high standards and beautifully crafted wines that formed the base of the top entries, noting:
“Really dynamic range of vermouths shown today, a lot of golds which is great to see. The gold winners were so elegant! In addition to what you are thinking about when it comes to good vermouth, with the aromatisation and the botanical blends, the best we saw today were starting with very beautifully well-made wine as the base and that makes a world of difference.”
