Top 10 Best Rated Wines at The Best Price by the Decanter World Wine Awards

By WIA5 Mins Read

The Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) is an international wine competition set up and governed by the Decanter wine magazine of Britain. The competition was founded by renowned UK wine critic Stephen Spurrier in 2004, the person behind the Paris Judgment of 1976, and has since remained one of the most influential European wine competitions.

Many hundreds of wines are sent to the DWWA each year for review, all of which must undergo a preliminary evaluation before they are submitted to the official process. The wines are judged by several panels, each headed by a specialist in the regional or category. The judging team of hundreds, including winemakers, dealers and wine authors, is drawn from a wide variety of disciplines. Decanter’s own writers take part in the judging, particularly Andrew Jefford and Spurrier himself, as do regional specialists such as Tom Stevenson, Jim Budd, Gerard Basset, and Chris Kissack,’ Wine Doctor.’

At DWWA, both medals and trophies are awarded. The awards are broken down into the traditional categories of gold, silver and bronze, while the prizes are assigned to the best wines of the competition first on a regional basis and, finally, on an international basis. There are also wines that the show’s judges ‘suggest’.There are entrants that have not earned a medal but are still deemed worthy of mention, and can be marked by a light-blue sticker on the shelves of retailers.

Decanter’s website, www.decanter.com, publishes the findings of the annual DWWA.

1. Caserio de Duenas ‘Vina Mayor’ Verdejo Superior, Rueda, Spain

Caserío de Dueñas Fermentado en Barrica 2016 | 【CampoluzEnoteca.com】

Caserío de Dueñas Verdejo Superior is a white wine made with Verdejo from their own vineyards. The grapes are harvested at night and carefully selected. It is then lightly pressed before fermenting at low temperature. It rests with its fine lees for 5 months in stainless steel tanks before being bottled. It is a streamlined, complex and fresh white wine. This vintage shows an astonishing freshness, it is balanced in aromas and it is very mineral on the palate.

Awarded medal: Regional Trophy

Price: 3$

4. Bodega Cruzat Cuvee Reserve Rose Extra Brut, Argentina

2016 Bodega Cruzat Cuvée Réserve Rosé Extra Brut, Argentina, Mendoza, Valle de Uco - CellarTracker

Attractive and subtle salmon pink color accompanying a sublime effervescence. Nose with aromas of red and tropical fruits as well as toasted bread. A bold and distinguished wine with light and elegant tannins. The balanced acidity conferred by the low percentage of Chardonnay results in a crispy sensation on the palate. This sparkling wine will be appreciated as an aperitif, and will perfectly accompany a dish of pasta in sauce or a piece of red meat.

5. Calamar Verdejo, Spain
