Lovers Leap Wins CONCORDANCE GOLD in Wines of the South Competition

February 22nd, 2010

Lawrenceburg, KY  Lovers Leap Vineyards and Winery announced today that it had received the prestigious CONCORDANCE GOLD medal for its “G”, an American Gewurztraminer wine, at the Wines of the South Competition, held in Knoxville, TN on October 17, 2009.  Concordance Gold is issued when 100% of the judging panel selects the wine for a Gold Medal.  Only 14 Awards of this level were awarded in the blind tasting, out of 471 entries.

Lovers Leap also received two Silver Awards, for its 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cynthiana, and two Bronze Awards for Riesling and Sloppy Seconds.  This recognition follows the GOLD Medal Award at this year’s Kentucky State Fair for the winery’s Cynthiana.

This has been an amazing first year for new winemaker, Logan Leet, also owner of Lovers Leap.  “I have been most fortunate to have a strong vineyard staff that laid the groundwork before we  took this project over in August, 2008.  My goal is to develop the best Kentucky wines possible in a competitive, international market.”

Lovers Leap Vineyards and Winery is nestled in the hills of the Kentucky River basin in Anderson County just outside Lawrenceburg. The soils and water at Lovers Leap, so famous for producing tobacco and renowned bourbons, are now nourishing grapes for wine. The rich earth is the perfect medium to unlock the flavor that is the Bluegrass.
