Sometimes the recognition comes in the form of a medal. Sometimes as a compliment from a friend, but it's always confirmation that when land, climate, weather, and human dedication work in harmony, the result is something truly special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted to share that Zornitza Family Estate wines were awarded two gold and one silver medal at the Balkans International Wine Competition 2026 - one of the most prestigious wine forums in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These awards are more than just a reward for us. They are a recognition of the character of each vintage, which we know and distinguish as our own children. Recognition, but also a tribute to the unique terroir of the Pirin Valley, which gives the wines of Zornitza Family Estate their unique identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three medals are a source of pride, but also of gratitude \u2013 to the entire team, who turns their passion for wine into art every day. And to all the friends of Zornitza Family Estate, who share this journey with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers to success. Cheers to terroir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers to the next harvest!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
