WineHunter Award 2026: SOMA XXV Merlot Cabernet Riserva 2020 in the Hall of Excellence and other top awards for our wines
Once again, we have received some great news from the WineHunter Award: our SOMA XXV Merlot Cabernet Riserva 2020 is one of the few wines to have made it into the Hall of Excellence. This means that the cuvée, produced as a one-off edition in 2020 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our SOMA, scored over 95.5 points in the first blind tasting and was awarded “GOLD” in the second tasting.
We were also delighted to receive “GOLD” for our FRAUENRIGL Gewürztraminer Riserva 2024 and FREIENFELD Chardonnay Riserva 2023. We are particularly pleased that the very first vintage of our FRAUENRIGL Gewürztraminer Riserva has already been honoured with this renowned award.
A big thank you goes to Helmuth and the entire WineHunter team, who not only organize a competition of the highest standard, but also a wine event that brings together numerous wine enthusiasts in Alto Adige every year.

The WineHunter Award is an award for outstanding performance and high quality, which is presented annually for wine and culinary products, spirits and beers. The award is divided into three categories (90-92.99 points: Rosso, 92-95.99 points: Gold, 96-100 points: Platinum). The best wines with at least 95/100 points are classified as ‘Platinum’ candidates and have the chance to receive the highest honour at a second tasting in October. The team consists of a total of 8 tasting commissions, headed by ‘The WineHunter’ Helmuth Köcher.
