San Pedro: Viña del Nuevo Mundo elegida por Wine Enthusiast

Wednesday November 2nd, 2011    

November 2nd, 2011.- Viña San Pedro is very pleased to announce that prestigious American specialized magazine, Wine Enthusiast, has just selected it as the New World Winery of the Year in the 12th version of its Wine Star Awards.

These awards recognize the excellence in all levels of the industry, from producing Premium wines and spirits, to their commercialization. Therefore, this great acknowledgement highlights the importance that

San Pedro has achieved on the global wine-industry scenario, as well as the great progress it has managed to reach.

In August, the publication had released the 55 nominees’ list for the 13 categories of these awards.

San Pedro appeared then, competing within the classification of New World Winery with very important producers, such as the Argentinean Bodega Norton, the South African De Toren, the Canadian Mission Hill Family Estate and the Australian Penfolds.

This was San Pedro’s third consecutive nomination, as last year it was postulated for the same distinction, and the year before, 2009, it was the VSPT Wine Group, from which this winery is part. So: the third was the charm!!

With over 20 years of trajectory, the Wine Enthusiast Magazine has become one of the most respected and quoted specialized publications worldwide. The whole global wine-world follows and acknowledges its opinions, especially in regards to the scores and reviews included within its Buying Guide, where wines from all over the world are qualified.

It reaches 685,000 readers per issue.
