The Gajdos Winery's 2009 Cabernet Franc Selection wine has won a grand gold medal at the MUNDUS VINI BioFach International Organic Wine Awards in Germany. The Gajdos Winery operates in Egerszalók, within the Eger wine region. The winery produced organically certified wines using exclusively ecologically cultivated grapes.

Hungarian wines, which are deservedly famous and increasingly acknowledged, are regular participants of various international wine competitions, at which our excellent wines often achieve great success. At this year's organic wine world championships in Germany, seven of the thousands of wines entered were awarded grand gold medals, beating those that won silver and gold medals. One of these seven wines was the Gajdos Winery's 2009 Cabernet Franc Selection.

The official award ceremony of the MUNDUS VINI BioFach International Organic Wine Awards will be held on 13 February in Nuremberg.
