The competition, which evaluated more than 18,500 wines from around the world, saw Chile receive three of its coveted Platinum Awards—the competition’s highest medal—one of which went to Morandé’s 2021 Black Series Pinot Noir, which received one of the highest scores in the lineup.

Chile received 13 Gold Medals in total in this year’s competition, two of which were awarded to Morandé’s 2021 Morandé Vitis Única Sauvignon Blanc¹ and 2022 Morandé Selección de Viñedos Sauvignon Blanc².

“The Decanter World Wine Awards, the world’s largest wine competition, heaped extraordinary praise on Viña Morandé this year,” says Ricardo Baettig, Chief Winemaker, Viña Morandé (part of Morandé Wine Group). “Our Platinum, two Gold, six Silver, and four Bronze medals combine to make Viña Morandé one of the most awarded wineries in South America, which is testament to the superb quality of Chilean wine, our country’s unique range of terroirs and our commitment to showcasing the very best of what Chile has to offer,” he adds.
