Only international, professional judges were included in the panel. Three kinds of awards, Silver, Gold, Grand Gold, were granted to wines represented the philosophy of chemical-free production.

The wine produced from the chemical-free soil of the Vörösmál-hills in Balatonfüred with uncompromising work impressed the panel very much: their unanimous decision resulted in a Grand Gold award.

The award will be presented in the summer of 2015 in Mainz, at the annual conference of the OIV International Grape and Wine Organization.
