High Reproduction Rate Despite Wide Stylistics

Along with the remarkably high average level of the autumn tasting by ORGANIC WINE AWARD INTERNATIONAL 2022, the organic wine scene again shows many ongoing experiments with stylistic issues. There is no „either-or“principle between traditional craftsmanship and high-tech make anymore, but rather a vast spectrum of styles somewhere between or beyond it. The reason for this development might be the fluctuations caused by climate change worldwide.

Given this stylistic diversity, it is even more remarkable that the WINE SYSTEM jury could achieve a qualitative reproduction of 90 per cent during the ranking. This means that two separate PAR® Certified Master Teams could accomplish the same qualitative assessment result of the exact wine after opening a new bottle and with temporal distance. This unprecedented rate is provided by the analytical methodology and constant training of the auditors. The essential benefit for the winemakers is the objectivity and transparency in every detail of assessment by the WINE SYSTEM jury. On top, a jury representative is personally at your disposal for a review.
