The ‘Korea Wine Challenge’ is an international wine competition held domestically since 2005, marking its 19th edition this year. The judging panel, composed exclusively of active sommeliers, evaluates wines through 100% blind tasting under strict conditions, managing appropriate tasting temperatures and air exposure times during the tasting process.

The ‘Vina Cobos Bramare Valle de Uco Malbec,’ which won the Best of Country award, is a product of the Argentine winery Vina Cobos. Vina Cobos is widely known as a cult wine winery in Argentina established by Paul Hobbs, former chief winemaker of Opus One.

The ‘Vina Cobos Bramare Valle de Uco Malbec’ is the best wine of the Vina Cobos winery, characterized by rich fruitiness combined harmoniously with Malbec’s distinctive smooth tannins, acidity, and body. Many consumers regard it as a ‘life-changing Malbec wine.’ A limited quantity is also introduced in the domestic market.

In addition, Kooksoondang’s ‘Champagne Hostomme Blanc de Blancs Millesime’ won a gold medal, and a total of six products, including ‘De Stefani Sole’ and ‘Dogajolo Rosso Oro,’ received awards.
