Gold for Lozova Hora: Transcarpathian Merlot Reserve Honoured at Wine Competition
Lozova Hora's Transcarpathian Merlot Reserve has won a gold medal at a national competition of Ukrainian wines.
Lozova Hora Winery has earned recognition at one of the leading national competitions of Ukrainian wines: its Transcarpathian Merlot Reserve has been awarded a gold medal. The jury, made up of sommeliers and oenologists, praised the depth, structure and terroir expression of this red.
The Merlot Reserve matures in oak barrels, gaining notes of ripe cherry, plum, tobacco and delicate spice. Its soft, mature tannins and long finish were, in the tasters' words, evidence of winemaker Roman Lozovyi's craft and of the Transcarpathian terroir's potential for great red wines.
"This award is recognition not only of the winery, but of all Transcarpathia as a serious wine region of Ukraine," comments Roman Lozovyi. He stresses that the volcanic soils and warm microclimate of the Uzhhorod slopes are bringing Ukrainian wines ever more confidently onto the competition stage. The awarded vintage is available in a limited release; learn more and order at www.lozova-hora.com.ua.
