Now in its 5th year, the Manilva wine contest is a competition where local winemakers submit bottles of wine in the following categories:- Dry, Sweet, and Medium Sweet. The quality of the wine is judged by a panel of experts and the best 3 wines win a cash prize – First prize 300 euros, second prize 200 euros and third prize 100 euros.
This year’s contest takes place on Saturday 5th January at the Manilva wine Centre (next to the fire station). Entries can be made from 9.30 – 12.00 when the judging will begin starting from 9.30am. The contest is open to the public who are also invited to sample the wines competing in the competition.
