Ferllen Winery Triumphs with Four Gold Medals at the Annual Sommeliers Choice Awards
Ferllen Winery, the boutique winery celebrated for its exceptional varietals, is thrilled to announce its outstanding success at the Annual Sommeliers Choice Awards. The winery has earned four prestigious Gold Medals, a remarkable achievement that underscores the dedication and craftsmanship poured into each of its wines.
The Sommeliers Choice Awards has built an international reputation by benchmarking wines for on-premise channels. With a judging panel consisting entirely of top sommeliers, master sommeliers, wine directors, and on-premise buyers from U.S. restaurants, bars, pubs, and clubs, the competition is designed to provide valuable insights for on-premise buyers. The edition of this esteemed competition offers wineries a unique opportunity to present their creations to America’s most influential sommeliers and wine buyers.
Ferllen Winery’s award-winning wines—Torrontés 2021, Malbec Grand Reserve | Barrel Selection 2014, Malbec Reserve 2020, and Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2020—reflect the unique terroir of Mendoza’s Valle de Uco and the winery’s unwavering commitment to excellence. These Gold Medals highlight the winery’s ability to craft wines that not only capture the essence of Argentina but also meet the discerning standards of the industry’s top professionals.
This triumph is a testament to the vision and leadership of Alejandro Ferllen, the founder of Ferllen Winery. A native of Mendoza, Argentina, Alejandro is a highly regarded hospitality industry leader with over 25 years of hands-on experience. His career has had a significant impact on the hospitality scenes in Argentina, Spain, and the United States, where he has spearheaded more than 20 successful ventures, including renowned restaurants and nightlife establishments.
Alejandro’s pioneering spirit led him to Miami, Florida, where he introduced innovative concepts in high-end event production. In 2006, he returned to his roots in Mendoza, launching Ferllen Winery and revitalizing a family vineyard. Under his leadership, the winery has consistently produced award-winning varietals that resonate with wine lovers and industry experts alike.
"We are incredibly proud of the recognition our wines have received," said Alejandro Ferllen, Founder of Ferllen Winery. "Earning four Gold Medals at the Sommeliers Choice Awards is a true reflection of the passion and expertise that our team brings to every bottle. It’s an honor to have our wines recognized by such a distinguished panel, and we look forward to sharing these celebrated selections with our customers and wine enthusiasts around the world."
In addition to its recent success at the Annual Sommeliers Choice Awards, Ferllen Winery is proud to announce its collaboration with the non-profit organization Amigos Near Foundation, co-founded by Ferllen. This partnership underscores the winery's commitment to supporting initiatives that positively impact the lives of children in need. The recent endorsement from soccer legend Lionel Messi further amplifies this mission, inspiring Ferllen Winery to continue promoting solidarity and making a lasting difference in communities worldwide.
Ferllen Winery’s global presence, including its vibrant Miami office and distribution network across 48 states in the U.S., continues to introduce the rich and diverse flavors of Argentinian wines to a broad audience.
