Objective, transparent, comprehensible: jury tastes according to PAR® system
Frasdorf,
01 April 2014 - Kick off for one of the most important wine competitions in
the branch is on June 27: The international organic wine award of the WINE
System AG. Certified organic producers are invited to register their products
for the tasting until the 10th of June. The submitted wines will be assessed by
an independent taster group of oenologist, IHK certified sommeliers, wine
consultants and professionals from gastronomy according to the particularly
objective and comprehensible PAR®
system. With the
award, the wines will be accessible for the consumer together with the
assessment results which are available in the freely accessible database of WINE
System AG.
The
international importance of the organic wine award is continuously
increasing
The tasting of the submitted organic wines in Bad Durkheim takes place
under the direction of Martin
Darting, sensory expert and founder of the PAR® system, organized by Gisela Wüstinger who is
managing director of WINE System AG. They are pleased about the every year
increasing acceptance of the organic wine award: Actually, 67 wineries from 13
countries have already registered their products. Many more are expected in the
coming weeks. In 2013 the number of participants was impressive: a total of 603
organic wines from 18 countries were tasted.
An enrichment for producers and
consumers
The international organic wine award means a benefit
for all sides: The winemakers appreciate, due to PAR® system, the well comprehensible description of their
wines, as it allows them to see their own products in international comparison
and helps them to identify potential. In addition, the prestigious award is an
appreciation of the own production and on the traders side the award is becoming
more and more popular. For the consumer, the award is a reliable guidance in the
growing organic wine range. Because of the inclusion of the tasted products in
the wine database of WINE System AG consumers can see the results of the wine
award before buying and they also have a variety of filter options. So the
consumer can search for specific criteria, such as origin, producer or grape
variety, food-pairing recommendations and other.
The assessment according to the
PAR® methodology
A feature of the professional wine tasting should be the incorruptibility
of the used method. The personal taste preferences of a taster may not affect
the review and evaluation in any way. The procedure always has to be ready to
give information, professional correct and understandable.
The PAR® system meets all these requirements, but goes much
further. PAR® is an abbreviation for product, analysis and
ranking. In this method, all necessary information about a product are available
for the taster: vintage, grape variety, growing location, maturation, alcohol,
acidity and residual sugar content and other data. Only in this way an accurate
evaluation can be done. The analysis relies on the established sensory working
method of the nasal and oral test. However, the PAR® system strictly separates here between a
quantitative and a qualitative evaluation. On a scale of one to ten, the
examiner rated in a negative or positive gradation each of the criteria
specified by the system. The data collected through a computer system will be
converted through a special software into the 100 point system.
The system also shows the individual
evaluation criteria in a graphical, easily understandable form. While the score
is a classification criterion for awards, visualizes the graphical
representation the sensory characteristics of the product. At a glance, the
producer can see, in which he provides best performance and at what he could
still work in the future. The PAR® system therefore provides
the participant not only with a high level of transparency, but at the same time
with useful information to optimize his product. In continuous use the
PAR® system provides even after a few cycles the
winemaker an inexpensively, however invaluable service.
