Monde (Riesling in the world) Wine Competition held in Strasbourg, France.
Fox Run Vineyards 2005 Riesling won Gold in the Generic category. The
competition featured over 500 Rieslings from 12 countries that were
submitted to the jury panel.
Fox
Run Vineyards owner
Scott Osborn
states "Out of the 71 Gold medals awarded, only one was given to a winery
from the United States. We are extremely honored to be the only American winery to win Gold and
excited to represent New York State
and the Finger Lakes Region." Osborn added "Riesling has long been
revered as the premier grape of the
Finger Lakes
and we are pleased that it is getting the recognition it deserves."
The Riesling Du Monde was created in 1998 and Rieslings are submitted from
wine producing regions throughout the world to an international jury of
oenologists and professional tasters. The variety of places where the wine
is produced illustrates the diversity, richness and originality of wines
made from this grape.
