BELHURST CAYUGA WINS A SILVER MEDAL IN
GRAND HARVEST AWARDS
March 6, 2008 (GENEVA,
NEW YORK) — Belhurst Winery president Mr. Duane Reeder proudly announces
the winning of a silver wine medal from the 2008 Grand Harvest Awards, a
competition produced by Vineyard & Winery Management, whose wine
competition experience spans more than 30 years, and is operated by a
nucleus of wine industry professions. This is the 50th Wine Medal
awarded to Belhurst Winery.
A truly unique event, the Grand Harvest Awards competition judges wines
based on terroir – or the grape growing regions. This results in judging
wines with a greater sensitivity to the complexities and nuances of
regional wines and also to measure the influence of regional soil and
weather characteristics on the taste and quality of individual wines.
This competition took place in Santa Rosa, California with a compilation
of judges including wine industry professionals, as well as media and
marketers of wine.
The silver medal winning Belhurst Cayuga 2006, priced at $14.95, is a
wonderful food friendly wine, and one of Belhurst Winery’s best selling
wines. The Belhurst Cayuga shows a pale straw color with a very delicate
bouquet. First on the palate is a showing of green apples, bananas and
violets. The second taste is creamy and fresh and features nuances of
delicate pineapple and pear along with a lingering finish of tantalizing
apricot.
All Belhurst wines are available for tasting and purchase in the
Belhurst Wine & Gift Shop on the shores of Seneca Lake, and for purchase
on our website at www.Belhurst.com.
