The competition is one of the largest international events in its category. The Concours Mondial de Bruxelles is a world reference for wine competitions. Its independence, strict standards and tasting procedures reassure consumers that they can buy medal-winning wines with confidence. Professional judges select award-winning wines with integrity for their quality, expression and balance.

In 1665, Oronzo Arcangelo de Castris, Count of Lemos, established the Winery exactly where it still lies, in Salice Salentino. Later on, just near the small village of Salice, some big estates were
created and mainly vineyards and olive trees were planted. In 1925, Piero Leone Plantera married Donna Lisetta de Castris so the two families got together. This marriage marked the beginning
of a new period in the history of this old Winery: the replacement of vines and the management reorganization structure. They started bottling the wine for the first time in Apulia, marking
a very important step in the history of Apulian oenology, indeed in 1943 the Five roses, the first rosé bottled in Italy, was born followed by the Red Salice Salentino in 1954, which, mainly thanks to the efforts of the Company, got the DOC denomination in the early 70’s. By the end of the 60’s, the general management was taken over by Salvatore Leone de Castris, son of Piero and Lisetta, who contributed very much in the further development on the main international markets. In the 80’s Salvatore’s son, Piernicola joined the Company first as Sales Director and then as General Director. The development of the wine cellar and the vineyards goes on winning international prestigious prizes. Our Winery has been the first Apulian bottler, and for that reason, we are deep-rooted in our territory. In the last years, the valorisation and the rediscovery of the indigenous varieties of vines, that made the history of Salento, represented a turning point in our activity. The most part of our wines are made with indigenous grapes, but we have never stopped the innovation process. Leone de Castris produces a selection of high-quality wines, great sparkling wines made with Negroamaro and red and white Malvasia grapes, a nice brandy (acquavite), and a precious grappa. Beside the Winery there are the Wine Hotel Villa Donna Lisa and the Milo Restaurant. Finally, the Wine Museum “Piero e Salvatore Leone de Castris”, named after the two pioneers of the Apulian winegrowing, recollect the fundamental steps of our own history and that of wine in Apulia.
From a genuine love for nature and the traditional winemaking activity handed down from generations,
NATIV winery raises in South Italy, to produce high-quality white and red wines, indigenous and therefore native of IRPINIA.
On the hills of Paternopoli, at 500 metres of altitude, the presence of vineyards on volcanic
and mineral soil (some are pre-phylloxera), and the intercontinental climate allow NATIV to carry on an sustainable production of high quality wines.
The winemaker, MARIO ERCOLINO, one of the founders of Feudi di San Gregorio,
and oenologist for major wineries from North to South Italy, started a new chapter founding NATIV together with his wife Roberta Pirone, in 2008.
The attention to quality, sustainability and design, got NATIV rewarded by Wine Spectator as one of the best 103 wineries in Italy. The company continues with determination on its growth path, with the objective of constantly raising its quality standard, in the belief that there is always time and way to improve.
Wijndomein Cruysem was founded in 2017 from a deep-rooted passion for wine.
The 10 Ha vineyard, located in the Flemish Ardennes and named after the new merged commune, is made up of plantations of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Meunier.
The sparkling wines are made using the traditional method. Wines of the highest quality are produced in an environmentally responsible way.
Hoenshof’s main goal is to put Belgian wines more prominently on the map. Jerom Houben says, “A lot of knowledge was passed down to me from a young age. The path to writing our own story is wide open. We don’t want to copy and paste, but to innovate.”
In 2002, Hoenshof (Prof. Dr. Ghislain Houben) planted his first grapevines on lands that have been in the family since 1907. His son, Jerom, who grew up among the wine barrels, is also passionate about the world of wine. Together, they cultivate 6.5 hectares of vineyards, featuring an impressive array of 25 different grape varieties.
Ghislain possesses exceptional knowledge of the winemaking process. As his title suggests, studying and creating are his passions, resulting in a diverse range of wines.
At Hoenshof, there’s a strong emphasis on experimenting with highly varied blends. They work mainly with innovative grape varieties that are adapted to the cool climate. Additionally, in 2021, the Hoenshof estate produced its first organic wines.
Wine Castle - GENOELS-ELDEREN - has been cultivating Belgium's oldest vineyards since 1991. On the nearby southern flanks of the Limburg hills, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines were planted for high-quality still and sparkling wines. They are now deeply rooted in the ideal loam and marlstone layers of Dry-Haspengouw. With extreme vigilance and a lot of handwork, this family-run business ensures pure and healthy vineyards rich in biodiversity. After expert pruning, green harvesting and rigorous selection, we pick exceptionally low yields for good ripeness and concentration. The castle's age-old yeasts create wines with distinctive aromas. All vintages receive a long barrel and bottle ageing in the castle's cellars to achieve optimal harmony. Our still and sparkling wines are the result of courage, commitment and passion, as well as blood, sweat and tears.
