2026 TEXSOM International Wine Competition Results
We are honored to share that two Bel Lago wines received recognition at the 2026 TEXSOM International Wine Competition — one of the most respected wine competitions in North America. A Gold and a Silver that reflect the depth of what our estate is capable of.
These results are the product of a relationship built season by season between Thomas, our vineyard manager, and Blake, our head winemaker. From canopy management and harvest timing to fermentation and aging, every decision is made in service of the wine — and ultimately, of you.
“The relationship between vineyard and cellar is not a handoff — it is a conversation that runs through every growing season.”
To see that work recognized across expressions as distinct as Late Harvest and Semi-Dry Riesling speaks to the range and intentionality that defines Bel Lago. Northern Michigan's terroir, approached with patience and precision, continues to produce wines of genuine distinction.
