Wines recognized by the world. 5 medals at the prestigious Decanter Awards for Chateau Chizay.
The highly authoritative and rigorous competition, Decanter World Wine Awards 2024, which took place in London for the 21st time, has announced its results, and they bring great joy to those who, like us, consider Ukrainian wine to be very promising. This competition is regarded as one of the benchmark events in the world. Medals from Decanter influence how a particular wine is evaluated in the international professional wine sphere. We are delighted that our exceptional wines, including both “Troyanda Karpat” wines – white and the new red, as well as the sweet wines made using complex technologies, Ice Wine Riesling and Late Harvest Furmint, have received such high ratings and worldwide recognition for the wines of Zakarpattia.
Decanter World Wine Awards is one of the largest tasting competitions in the world. This year’s scale is also impressive.
In the Decanter 2024 competition, the jury comprised 243 leading wine experts, including 20 Master Sommeliers and 61 Masters of Wine.
The judges were from 33 countries. And the wines (more than 18,000 samples!) came from 57 countries worldwide, from Chile to Japan.
Producers from renowned wine-making nations like France and Italy, as well as those striving to achieve this status, such as Ukraine, compete for Decanter distinctions.
Congratulations to our friends and colleagues – Ukrainian winemakers – on their new awards 👏
And here are the achievements of Chateau Chizay in the Decanter World Wine Awards – 2024:

We are proud to represent Ukraine and Ukrainian winemaking in the world!
We are delighted that the world’s wine elite highly appreciates the special wines born in Zakarpattia.
We thank the organizers of the competition for facilitating the participation of Ukrainian producers and for their support! No, this does not concern the ratings – especially since all the tasting evaluations in the Decanter World Wine Awards competition are conducted not just by the highest professional standards but also by blind tasting methodology.
And the high results of the competition are like a confirmed ticket into the world of high-quality winemaking 🔝
Happy to be part of this community and moving forward! 💛💙
