Montenegro’s Plantaže Triumphs at Decanter World Wine Awards 2025

From the Balkans to London: Montenegro’s Plantaže vineyards claim top honours at the world’s premier wine competition

In a remarkable achievement for Montenegrin viticulture, the renowned winery “13. jul–Plantaže” has once again captured international acclaim at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2025.

Among over 17,000 entries from 57 countries, the Vranac Pro Corde 2021 clinched the coveted gold medal — adding to its recent accolade as the best wine in the Balkans at a prestigious Greek competition.

This recognition firmly places Plantaže on the global wine map, spotlighting the rich terroir and craftsmanship behind Montenegro’s signature red grape, Vranac.

The winery’s excellence extends beyond this flagship label, with silver medals awarded to Premijer 2017, Vranac Barrique 2021, and the archival Grand Reserve 2005.

Meanwhile, Nota 2024 earned a bronze, underscoring a consistently high standard across the range.

Such honours from the Decanter panel, revered as one of the world’s most rigorous wine adjudicators, mark a proud moment for Montenegro’s emerging wine industry — a testament to its growing stature in the competitive world of fine wines.
