With three gold medals and one silver, Murfatlar Vinul shone at the 21st edition of the Vinarium International Wine Contest 2024, the most prestigious competition in Eastern Europe, which brings together wines from around the world.

During the competition, Murfatlar Vinul was awarded three gold medals for Lacrima lui Ovidiu White and Rosé as well as for the Syrah variety, and a silver medal for Lacrima lui Ovidiu Rosé.

Cosmin Popescu, Managing Partner at Murfatlar Vinul Romania SA, stated: “These awards represent a validation of our ongoing efforts to produce wines of the highest quality. It is an honor to represent Romania on the stage of a renowned international competition and to be rewarded with these prestigious medals. We are motivated to continually elevate our standards of excellence and deeply grateful to our dedicated teams who contributed to showcasing our finest wines.”

Lacrima lui Ovidiu, a unique fortified wine in Romania, is aged for at least five years in oak barrels, offering complex aromas of wood, caramel, and honey. Our red and rosé wines, produced from Pinot Noir, Fetească Neagră, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot varieties, feature velvety and savory flavors of currants and blueberries, enriched with oak and vanilla notes.

Syrah, the third gold-medal-winning wine, is renowned for its superior quality and potential to develop over time, confirming our tradition of producing remarkable wines.

Our achievements at Vinarium 2024 follow the recognition received at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2024, where we won five medals: gold for 3 Hectare Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2023 and 3 Hectare Chardonnay 2022, and silver for Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Aerosoli Fetească Neagră & Pinot Noir Rosé 2023, and Statornic Sauvignon Blanc 2022.
