So who will get the Vince Award?

Will Etyeki Kúria won another prize for their Sauvignon Blanc? In Rhine Riesling category will Villa Sandahl get another trophy? In Chardonnay category, Ákos Kamocsay of Hilltop who can boast several prestigious titles (for example Winemaker of the Year), will he get another acknowledgement for his Kamocsay Premium Chardonnay 2019? Frittmann Winery, the passionate producer of Irsai Olivér wines – will they prove their philosophy with a new award? As for roses, is it rewarding to go for premium quality, so will Lajver Premium Rose 2020 be awarded? And Kadarka Man, who gives every attention to his Kadarka vines, will his Heimann & Sons Porkoláb-völgy Kadarka 2018 get another accolade? As for Cabernet Sauvignon, will the multi award winner Eszterbauer Tivald 2017 take another award home? In Cabernet Franc category, will the super elegant Vylyan Mandolás Selection 2016 convince voters? Many questions to be answers, we are curious to see the results!
