Swiss Wine Gala: 39 wineries in the spotlight and a third victory for Diego Mathier (Nouveau Salquenen)

The Swiss Wine Gala is always a high point of the year, and this year’s event was no exception, coming at the end of an outstanding harvest and attended by 440 guests. No less than 39 wines (from a shortlist of 79) were awarded prizes across the 13 different categories, while Salquenen producer Diego Mathier swept the board, carrying off the coveted title of Swiss Winery of the Year for the third time as well as the Vinissimo prize for Best White Wine in Show. The red Vinissimo award was won by Uvavins-Cave de la Côte in Tolochenaz (VD), while the Prix Bio (organic prize) went to talented Geneva grower Bertrand Favre of Domaine de Miolan in Choulex (GE).
