Murfatlar Vinul, a paragon of the Romanian viticultural tradition, has achieved international recognition by clinching several prestigious medals at the "Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2024." The newly launched Aerosoli and Statornic ranges, along with the acclaimed 3 Hectare series, were the stars of this illustrious competition, which is one of the most respected in the world, gathering elite wine experts and connoisseurs to evaluate the finest wines globally.
At the competition, Murfatlar Vinul secured two gold medals for the 3 Hectare Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2023 and 3 Hectare Chardonnay 2022.

Additionally, the 3 Hectare Sauvignon Blanc 2023 won a silver medal, characterized by its moderate acidity and fresh floral and tropical fruit aromas.
Two more silver medals were awarded to Murfatlar Vinul for the Aerosoli Fetească Neagră & Pinot Noir Rosé 2023, an elegant blend with delicate raspberry and citrus aromas, and the Statornic Sauvignon Blanc 2022, known for its pleasant acidity and green fruit characteristics.
